If you do a search (at the top of the page) on binoculars you will find HEAPS. There has been a couple of pretty indepth threads over the last month or two. For magazines Australian Sky and Telescope is a great read. There are probably thousands of websites dedicated to astronomy. Apart from my favourite one here I also like http://skyandtelescope.com/ as I can personalise it for my location and get an interactive sky charts for dates, times and locations that I can specify. The first thing you need though if your just starting out is a planisphere or "star wheel" to help you start identifying constellations, stars and some of the brighter deep sky objects.
