If you have no knowledge, go and do Splunk Fundamentals 1

I would probably suggest starting with the Splunk Security Essentials app to discover use cases you can meet in your environment with the data you have ingested in Splunk.

It is well documented and should be very helpful, especially since you have limited Splunk experience.

You might also find some nuggets here.
