I picked up the uke about 2 years ago because I hadn't played an instrument in years, and just about everyone plays guitar, banging out wonderwall in the dorm stairwell. Whether it's a supplemental, or your first instrument, the uke is a fantastic choice. It's also a great stepping stone to other fretted instruments like guitar or mandolin if you've got no experience playing one.

The uke is also great if you like to sing/muck around with friends. It tends not to overshadow you (though for some people that might be a bad thing) and puts you a little closer to your audience. Plus it's just that much easier to hold and play.

Most of my favourite uke sites have already been posted, but I use this for my chords:
