Hi Mohan,

this as actually great question, since I was also struggling in the beginning, and from time to time even now.

I have started to learn ansible from the great documentation http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro.html

Once  I got the grip of the very basics, I switched to galaxy and stared to learn how others are doing it.

I discovered there are many great things to learn, as it is much easier to learn when you can see the working example.

For started I recommend geerlingguy repositories: 

 - https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-apache

 - https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-php-mysql

 - https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-php

This guy knows he is doing :).

Moreover, one more tip. Practice makes perfect. For practicing I find vagrant useful https://www.vagrantup.com/

Vagrant makes setup of virtual machine a breeze and it has ansible as provisioner baked in.

To learn more you can go here:

 - http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/guide_vagrant.html

 - https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/provisioning/ansible.html

Have a fun learning and if you need more help, feel free to ping me.

Best,

Petr
