What you are looking for is here:
http://sqlzoo.net/
It is an excellent website that discusses in depth but at a tutorial
style level how and what SQL is and how to use it. Including JOINS.
FYI, a JOIN is basically a FROM with an integrated WHERE clause. That is
a very simplified description and isn't 100% accurate
but it is close. I strongly suggest the website I mentioned above as it
will resolve your question.
