This is a good place to start.

Depends how much of a beginner you think you are.

If you know UNIX then AIX is merely another flavour, use the man pages to check the options for familiar and unfamiliar commands. Build up a picture of the differences between different platforms, eg filesystems, configuration, tools and daemons.

If you are a UNIX newbie, get a solid general grounding in UNIX/Posix systems and don't concentrate too much on one particular system. Get 'bash' for whatever system you are using to give you a standard familiar interface.
