if you really want to get good at chess you need to learn theory (set piece movements for first 10-15 moves) and allat but it's boring
for beginners just learn basic tactics and make sure not to throw away all your pieces (you can train against the computer bots or do puzzles)
good yters for beginners that are somewhat entertaining are like gothamchess and hikaru
I disagree, getting a feel for the game is more important at a low level people won't play into theory anyways and you get out of book too quickly. Play games online with the ideas of getting your pieces out castling and taking the middle of the board with pawns. At a low level you can try to see if your opponent is hanging any pieces, you can try your best not to as well, this will take you a fair bit
try to watch some tutorials by gothamchess, but here is my summary:
Opening:
golden rules:
1) pawn in the center
2) knights and bishops out
3)king safety by castling
4) connected rooks
midgame:
what do I want to do with my pieces?
what does my opponent want to do with his pieces?
Do i have tactics?
does he have tactics
Endgame;
endgame takes skill and a lot of practice but just remember: pawn and king are op
