I will just get a book. "Outboards for Dummies". I am sure it exists. I have not made a final decision yet but I would really like to be on the water this summer.
You might find a community college offering a course on outboard maintenance and repair. I live in a rural area and our local community college offers such a course. As Blue Runner stated, the older outboards, like the carbureted 2 strokes, are pretty straightforward. The newer fuel injected 4 strokes are a different ball of wax.
