Wikipedia explains ISO and noise quite nicely.

I (also a total novice) found the morgue files classroom tutorials to be very well explained.

Although I think you need to read them all a couple of times, then read the section again, that deals with the particular area you want to learn about.

Oh for a photgraphy for dummies book lol

If you really want to understand the very basics in a very simple/animated/cartoon style then Canon's website is fantastic for explaining everything you need and I challenge anyone to say they dont follow any of that.
