The best resource you have is your manual and patience. Just accept the learning curve is a big one, you won't learn it all, and if you do wish to learn all of it (or at the least, become an competent synth programmer) give yourself enough time (Months/years)
I'm a reaktor user and have been for a while, your manual is your best resource for learning initially.
There are tutorials in there and online tutorials on the NI website into building your first synths.
It really depends what you want to do.
The Reaktor forum is a very focused one, with a very willing and helpful community, you may find contacting people on there of some use. It all depends what you are stuck on, what you want to learn, and what you have done to help yourself.
Join the reaktor forum, there's also a bunch of links and info in the stickie threads for new and intermediate users. links to 3rd party tutorials, DSP tutorials etc etc.

Check the user forums online. Best resource available is those minds.
Some fucking mind blowing ensembles online too.

as above,
you need to get on the reaktor forum
whether you intend to use it as a (fantastic) set of vst instruments rewired into your DAW
or intend to build synths - there is a LOT covered on that forum
plus the user library is the heartbeat for either getting new toys are breaking down the instrument structures to figure out how to build
also, given how long reaktor has been around there are a lot of very 'old' but useful things in the library - yesterday i d'ld a great little thing from 1999!

also the latest issue of Future Music (one with Autechre on the cover) has both a written and video tutorial on building in R5 (first part in a series)

Is it Autechre doing the tutorial? Surely not?

no-no
they've got an interview, completely unrelated to reaktor
(from what i understand they are max/msp heads)
