Not sure if you're still looking for info, but I found these slides (below) the other day trying to get a better grasp of the basics:

Lots of slides here, but I found the slow building step-by-step a good jump start: https://www.cambridgesemantics.com/semantic-university/sparql-by-example

Also the answer here for generally exploring a graph: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2930246/exploratory-sparql-queries

Hope it helps.

You may be able to view it at the link below; I expect DuCharme would be willing to contract with UCSD to tailor something for you -
