Have a look in the docs directory of the Torque 2D SDK. In there you'll find a wealth of information on the SDK including a step by step tutorial on creating a simple side-shooter.
As Randy points out, the forums contain some golden information but I'd definately recommend at least goiung through the tutorial first to make up your own mind on what fits and what doesn't.
Failing that, search the forums or just come back and ask.
There's a new release just around the corner as well with even more documentation and major improvements on the existing stuff.
Good luck,

I started with the "T2D Basic Tutorial.pdf" in the doc folder. In about 2-3 hours you will have a (very simple) sidescroller running, and you will understand the basic concepts of T2D.
After that you can just try to write any game you want and learn from it.
The "T2D Reference.pdf" (also in the doc folder) will help you with things the Tutorial didn't cover.
Have fun,

Go to the GarageGames Community Section off the main homepage
Go to Resources > Browse > Torque Engine Technology > Tutorials > Torque 2D
There are lots of tutorials listed here. Towards the bottom of the page there is a Torque 2D tutorial pack that is a collection of 10 tutorials.
After finishing the T2D Basic Tutorial I immediately went on to these and I am finding them very helpful.
Cheers,

TDN is great sure, but I got confused by the T2D 1.1 examples and why they did not work with me ;)It took me some time to figure out. ;)
Torque Owner Vashner
Also in the TDN beta (just search for TDN then login to it and select T2d) has a bit of info.
