To start off, visit any trainer in the main cities in your faction (if you can't find one then just ask a guard) and learn Apprentice Mining.

Download the following addon: Gathermate2. This addon shows you every Mining node location on your map. The addon and the databse can be found here.

It is recommended that you buy a Mining Pick. You can buy this from an NPC, they are usually near your blacksmith trainer somewhere. The pick gives you +10 skill points.

Note, because of the nature of this profession, you should know that this guide is first and foremost a zone guide. In it you will find which zones to go to in each level to up your Mining as quickly as possible.
