Also, even though it is in the middle of my "highlights" page, you may want 
to start with the Regression handout - it is actually one of the first 
Stata handouts I ever did and includes some Stata basics:

Also, there is a corresponding SPSS handout with nearly parallel 
organization, which may make it easier as you transition from one program 
to the other:

Finally, let me encourage you to buy and read "Statistic with Stata, 
updated for version 8" by Lawrence Hamilton, which I found to be an 
excellent intro to Stata.
