The mature and professional thing to do would be tell you boss directly. When he/she is free for a moment ask to speak with them privately in their office. Without more information then they need to know, tell them your giving your two weeks notice. Don't be nervous or apologize. You have every right to move on. You give a two weeks notice to help them find someone else. They should appreciate it!

Actually, it is nice to do both. Give your boss and the HR Manager the notice in person but also hand them a notice in writing.

The proper way to do it is to put it in writing, and then when you tell your boss in person, you can say that you had also brought it in writing and that it was a pleasure working for him/her. Then you are guaranteed to be in the good books and if you ever need the job again, you have a place to go.

Both is acceptable, but to be professional, write a letter with a brief explanation of why you are leaving and specify what your last day of working there would be. Make sure to add that "it's a been a pleasure working with/for them". That always looks good when they are called for a reference and asked what terms you left on, if you gave notice, etc. I'd definately write a res. letter just to cover my butt.

To be professional, I'd put it in writing. Explain when your last day is and give a reason as to why you are leaving.
If you feel comfortable, you could talk to your boss about your leaving, it's more about how you feel about it.
But in writing makes it more professional.

Put it in writing and then make sure you work out your notice. Nothing will hurt your chances of a good reference more than not working out your notice.

It can depend on where you work. I told my boss, and she asked me to formally type out and print up a two week notice.

its been my experience 2 tell your boss in person that away they have an opurtunity 2 match your new job or resolve any problems in the old one (but always remember 2 weeks)

Your two-week notice to leave should always be in writing because verbal notices are hard to prove.
