As a complete starter with Lightroom5 I would appreciate guidance and links to any online tutorials, starting with very basic and moving onwards.
I shoot RAW (7D) and also use DPP.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Three sites that offer good comprehensive tutorials:

Lynda.com
KelbyTraining.com
SLRLounge.com

Also, Adobe offers a lot of freely available stuff, check out AdobeTV:

I recommend starting at the adobe tv link Tony posted. It will give you a good grounding in what everything does, then you can move on from there.

Ive just got Scott Kelby's new LR5 book.
Its a pretty good read, although i felt its more a continuation of the previous LR4 book rather than a covers everything book.
Still worth getting IMO, if you like his style.
