Where is a good place to start? Can someone recommend a good tutorial that walks through the basics or online classes or something of that nature?

I suggest downloading the GLSprite example, and using that as a starting point. It already has the code for setting up a view and loading an image. Then start reading some opengl tutorials and modifying the example.
I used the OPENGL red book (this is not specific to ES, but had some great explanations of the core concepts)
Amazon.com: OpenGL(R) Programming Guide: The Official Guide to Learning OpenGL(R), Version 2.1 (6th Edition): OpenGL Architecture Review Board, Dave Shreiner, Mason Woo, Jackie Neider, Tom Davis: Books
and the online openGL spec:
