Documentation
The wiki will help you get started, and contains a description of the entire API. It is collaboratively edited by LÖVE users — getting bigger and better every day.
Also, the wiki theme is pretty cool.
Community
If you get stuck, many friendly people are ready to help you at the forums. Be warned, however, that it sometimes gets too friendly.
People also post their games and projects on the forums, so it's a nice way of exploring what LÖVE can do. Or at least what people choose to use it for.
There is also an IRC channel: #love@irc.freenode.net.
Don't forget to have fun
