Definately... go for the Daz forums and just play - I started out completely by accident and had never touched a 3d program prior to downloading Daz (I was only vaguely aware that they existed and had no clue that they were accessible to the general public!) 

Daz Studio 3 comes with a 'Quickstart' scene - you'll find it under Studio - Scenes. Load it up and have a play around - first I'd recommend getting comfortable with your camera controls, as there's nothing more frustrating than losing what you're looking at! When all else fails with them, try the 'Reset' icon (the little black arrow) or make sure you've got the object you want to look at selected in your 'Scene' tab and hit the 'Frame' icon (it looks like a target site.)

As the other guys have said, poke every button. :) Daz is an awesome program once you get used to it, but it does take some getting used to! So please don't give up in frustration - it will come and the best way to get advice to just shout out.  There's no such thing as a dumb question, as we've all asked them at some point or another.

This is the link to the Daz new users help forum - there's a great bunch of folks over there who are very lovely. There's also a load of tutorials to have a flip through - they might seem very daunting at first, but the more you read, the more bits and pieces will start to fall into place. 

Best of luck :)
