Hey everyone, I don't know much about audio and synths and I"m looking for maybe a book or video. Stuff on synth as I don't even know what an LFO or gate is and stuff on audio such as bit rate etc.

I'm a nub.

Not a book or video but loads on useful articles on the Sound on Sound website:

Around mid page find the link for free download.
Added to sound on sound articles gives you a very good idea.

This covers alot of the aspects of Synthesizers, plus some musical theory and some tips on how to create and record different types of music. It can be a little heady so you may have to re-read some things.

+1 for the dance music manual! easy to read, full of good infos!

This is for for the Nord modular stuff but applies to synthesis anyway... This will keep you busy... There is always your local library I learned lots from there before the interwebz...
