I’m trying to get into vegetarian cooking and while there are a lot of sites and books out there, I’m really looking for a good general primer (either online or offline) recommended by some vegetarians out there.

Go to VegWeb http://www.vegweb.com
They have a lot of good recipes for vegetarians, vegans, and raw vegans — all sorts of recipes — and they have good how-to articles.
It is a very good place to start.
There is also a book called Vegetarian Cooking for Dummies which you can get on amazon.com which has information, how-to’s, and easy recipes
There is also
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Being Vegetarian, which also has information, how-to’s, and easy recipes
There are lots of other sites and books, but these are easy ways to get started

I LOVE that book! my mom bought it for me when I decided to become vegetarian 6 years ago and I still use it. They came out with a second edition too and its just as good! Check it out, good luck!
