Computer music magazine
Also has a fair few good free vsts, which lets you get used to different kinds of synths and finding your way around them.

Is quite expensive for a magazine (£6?) but you only really need to buy one issue to get all the software.

Agree with the Sound On Sound series, it's amazing. Though I don't think it's too hard for beginners. It gets tougher and tougher for each article, but the first ones are easy to understand imo.
Also check out SeamlessR, ARTFX, and Dubspot.
