Definitely check out the tutorials in the VIP section. Mike McKinley's new character rigging tutorials are very good.

i would say do the rigging first, then do the cloth so u can test out whether ur clothing is working properly

rigging is simple, skinning is a bitch user added image

Ive. done it both way with cloth before and after rigging...But I think you should rigg first than cloth...
