Tool By Tool Guide

Many of the core tools in Illustrator are collected together in a tools panel, which is traditionally found at the left of the screen.  If the tools panel is not visible, you can find it by going to Window > Tools.
Also, if any icon has a small triangle in the lower right, drop down icon means there are further sub-tools available clicking and holding down on this icon will generate further similar options, relevant to this particular tool.
