Introduction to group theory

Hello,

I'm interesting in understanding electroweak theory and quantum chromodynamics, and when looking at the math it seems I need to understand the SU(2) and SU(3) groups. I don't know anything about group theory and am currently researching it online. Does anyone have some good introductions to group theory, and what groups are and why they are used? Just thought I'd ask here as well.
