Here are two great sources of free training material, one from Microsoft and the other from SharePoint consulting company Point8020.
1) Develop on SharePoint - from Microsoft
This is a SharePoint Developer portal site with the navigation based around the main topics of interest to developers, such as: Web Parts, Data Lists, Event Handlers Workflow, Silverlight, Page Navigation, Page Branding, Web Services, Custom Content Types and User Management.
This site has a really cool interface. However, with the browser back navigation button disabled, the custom "Go Back" navigation button that appears at the top of each display panel needs to be highlighted a little better.
Each of the topic panels presents a comprehensive set of resources including, virtual labs, webcasts, white papers and more.
