I don't have very many tips, being quite inexperienced myself, but there are a few pieces of advice I'd like to give to beginners.

Shoot lots, shoot often! Doesn't matter what, doesn't matter where - learn to find interesting subjects in 'boring' locations, learn how to use your camera, and get rid of any shyness you might have when it comes to photography.

Also, shoot in RAW if you can. It's more work once you get home, but can be very useful if the shot didn't come out just right, or if you wanted to turn it into a single shot HDR, or even if you learn a new Photoshop technique and want to practice on some old photos.

And one last thing. When you go shooting, go to do just that. And bring your tripod.
