Simple Menu

How could I create a simple menu that opens up when I click a button on the side?

I want to use it for like an inventory or something, but just for now, how can I create the window to come open when I click the button?

Have a look at the starter kits you get with the engine.. if you search through the code for one of the existing GUI files (they're stored in scriptsAndAssets/client/gui) you'll see how to create one yourself

Are there any good tutorials for serious beginners?

You can have a look at the MinApp Tutorial series it takes you through creating a GUI.

Sorry I'd look at your profile and assumed as an Advanced Programmer that you'd be able to work from a code example already in the starter kits as it's an easy thing to do.

Hand-holding tutorials are generally a bit lacking here on GarageGames, but that's not really a problem due to the many code examples that can be found. There are several inventory "Resources" that do exactly what you describe.
