For graphs, I wholehartedly recommend the book
A Visual Guide to Stata Graphics
http://www.stata.com/bookstore/vgsg.html
Of course the manual would be great too, but the book has so many wonderful
examples and it is very quick to find what you are looking for.
For the basics of data analysis, I would not know where to start, there is
so much. Have you considered taking a Stata net course?
http://www.stata.com/news/nc.html
I went to look right now and it happens that the course that (I think) would
be most helpful to you (NC-101. Introduction to Stata NetCourse) starts
today, so you can jump right in.
I did not take that course, but I took the two courses on programming and
they are really good.

Dear Friends,
Has anyone done data analysis before? Could you please give me some
example? I want to do some basic data analysis using Stata including:
drawing distribution graphs of one variable
drawing distribution graphs of many variables in one graph
compare two variables, giving out corelation between them
comparing many variables, giving out correlation between them
etc
Also,I want to store the distribution graph in output file. How can I do
this?
Warm regards,
Maoyong Fan
