There is HTML documentation in some doc directory after you install Postgres. 
 That is a good place to start.

It is on the documentation.

see the documentation.

www.postgresql.org,   www.greatbridge.org .......   Subscribe to mailing 
lists and visit the newsgroups.  Do google searches.

There are books e.g. www.amazon.com.  On www.postgresql.org is a complete 
HTML version of a book out there plus several manuals.

There is a GUI, but that is a separate install.  I have never installed it.  
I think that it is browser based PHP application.

This is not much, but it might help you get started.

BTW, Postgres is a very powerfull RDBMS.  You need to learn it well before 
you can exploit its many features, but it is well worth it.
