If you're new to the game, watch a few high level replays. Try www.replayers.com for some nice ones.
People may disagree on how valuable watching that 701st replay is, but there's no question you can learn a huge amount from watching, say, 12. Get a smattering of the races, mostly for build orders, hero and skill choice, and just random tidbits like rally-flagging your hero and whatnot. Learn what to fight with what, in a general sense. The intuitive counters aren't always the best ones.
Strategy guides are always awful. Don't even bother.
