Colorful Conversion

I've owned my dSLR for over two years now, and up until this point I have never used its RAW image format. Today I finally got the courage to give it a try. I headed to the Hudson River with my camera, but Mother Nature wasn't very cooperative - right at the point where I wanted to start taking pictures, the skies opened up. I tried to wait out the storm, but after 20 minutes, I decided to give up and just head home. Of course, as I was driving, the rain stopped. So I pulled into Locust Grove and spent some time photographing its flower garden, then headed home, eager to start using Canon's Digital Photo Professional to perfect my photos. I quickly learned that I really have no idea what I'm doing. I think the problem is that I have no confidence in knowing what looks right or good. I'm going to have to find a tutorial or two that can guide me. Any suggestions?
