I have only been playing a week. I have started reading the guides and think i am slowly starting to understand the game but i find myself stuck on something that i am sure is quite simple.
I am in survival mode and stuck in a biome that is surrounded by water no matter which way i turn i end up in it and drown. How do i get through the water so i can keep traveling?
Craft a crafting table, and then use it to craft a boat
Don't worry, we all start out as noobs!

That would be an ocean biome. A boat, crafted with five wood of any type, will be the best option to get through it. Here's the recipe and some basic information about them. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Boat

I suggest reading a bit, knowledge is your best friend in this game. There's a lot to learn, and it may seem a bit daunting at first but it's actually quite easy to all absorb. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it all, and remember the game is to be played however you deem fun
This is a great guide that'll really help get you going, it has everything that you'll need to know in one convenient site. I highly recommend reading all of it!: Guide to Minecraft
This is a great guide to help improve your buildings, give you some ideas of what you can do, etc: Voxel's Guide to Building
And then when you feel you're ready, there is a great forum on here all about redstone. From basics to the advanced: Ultimate Redstone Guide

Try swimming instead of walking, and keep yourself close to the surface. Swimming is basically just jumping in the water, so if you're about to drown you can just breech the surface for air.
Obviously a boat makes it a lot easier to get around, but it's not as necessary as everyone suggests.

^Yeah just hold down space bar (jump button) to swim on the surface without drowning.

Just as he said, craft a boat. You will go very fast, but don't hit the shores hard, or you will break the boat.
Happy crafting!

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
