Can anyone suggest links, videos, or code samples to get started with the SDL Tridion web content management system?

There are quite a few tutorials in Tridion World, but for learning the real basics, I would recommend accepting developer trainings .

Tridion World Tutorials

Keep in mind that Tridion uses a decoupled CM and CD architecture where you pre-create static content at the time of publication and use dynamic code (JSP / ASP.NET / XSLT) for your runtime / dynamic content. It has a huge set of APIs and very extensive documentation.

This post from John Winter is probably a good start.

Tridion is a licensed product, so it’s rare to see people publish sample code on Tridion ... :(

But there are blogs that can help you, at least start with ...

The developer community is publishing more content.

The Tridion developer site (different from the main corporate and marketing site sdl.com) also contains examples and primers from installation to templates: http://www.tridionworld.com/articles/sdltridion2011/index.aspx

The system is also programmable, therefore, in addition to the basic part of web content management, Tridion offers ways to program against an event system or configure a graphical interface.

To really get started, it will help to be or join a company that uses it. :-)
