Free add on:  Wolfram Workbench is a IDE for Mathematica which helps you work with long sections of Mathematica code. You can keep track of variables, debug, or run tests on parts of code. Download it here:

Free encyclopedia which now has free Mathematica documents under many entries. So you can start with a concept, then have an immediate way to learn how this concept can be explored further in Mathematica with sample code and calculations.

Wolfram has a free convertor which takes Mathematica documents and generates a pdf file for you. You can't do any calculations within the pdf, but this is a fine static document of calculations, or graphics, etc:
