I am actually learning AutoCAD at the local community college right now. I enjoy the class, and if you want to learn AutoCAD it's probably the way to go. The professor has taught us a lot of things that aren't in the books. If you can't take the class, however, the book we use is pretty good, it's called Discovering AutoCAD 2002, you can probably get a decent understanding if you follow it.
