I am new to Wireshark too. But I would share some experience with you.
First, before you use Wireshark analyzing some network traffic, you need have some knowledge about TCP/IP fundamental. Such as ARP packets, DNS query packets, IP sourece address, IP destination address, TCP port number, UDP port number, are quite basic concepts of TCP/IP stack.
"Interworking with TCP/IP" Volume 1 or "Illustration TCP/IP" Volume 1 are two good books to read.
Second, you may move to speicifid application, such as http, email, nfs, cifs. These are upper layer
protocol based on TCP/IP. One of Wireshark's strong point is that it provides so many dissectors to decode protocols. Though Wireshark is a good tool to capture and decode network traffic, and even give an
analyzing, you'd better know the protocol by your own and then utilize Wireshark.
www.wiresharktraning.com has a free section of video cource and some tech notes, you may find it useful.
