The Gromacs manual is a fantastic resource, particularly the introductory chapters.

Beyond that, have you tried Google?  There are a number of great 
introductory-type pages that discuss some of the more basic aspects of MD.  You 
might also find some help here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_dynamics#References

I can attest to several of the books listed there (Allen & Tildesley, Leach, and 
Schlick) being particularly useful.  Beyond that, hopefully a supervisor or 
colleagues will have some expertise and can recommend the requisite reading 
material.
