as a beginner you should first read a good introductory text like the one
of D. Braess or Axelson/Barker  or

        "Basic course in finite element methods", K.W. Morton, on
        "Finite Elements in Physics", Proceedings of the 1st European
        Graduate Summer Course on Computational Physics, Lausanne,
        Switzerland, 1-10 September 1986, R. Gruber (Ed.), North
        Holland (Amsterdam).


there are of course online tutorials 
like 
http://femur.wpi.edu
for more information look at

hope that helps
