very long answer required.....heres the short on:
dur-rock sub floor, seal the joints of the sub floor, use thin set for the setting of the floor: once sub floor installed find center of ur room both ways and pop a caulk line... will keep the wall cuts the same.......
trowel in ur thin set with 1/4 notch trowel working from ur + line( from the center out) only apply enough thin set for 2 or 3 tile until u get the hang of it......use 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch spacers from lowes between each tile.....set the tile in the thin set and give a small push and twist, and then line up where u like it.......

I can tell you but really it's easier to be shown something like that.
I suggest the website www.diy.com
or
Home Depot often has classes on do it yourself projects - call them and see if they have one coming up.

Type of sub surface to go on makes a difference. Also how level it is and how many things you need to get under (like toilet bowl)
