I learned by reading. A great beginner book is "The Digital Photography Book" by Scott Kelby. It teaches you the basics of a digital camera such shutter speed and a few tips on certain events like sporting, weddings, etc. Once you become more advance I would recommond "Understanding Exposure Revised Edition" by Bryan Peterson. This is a more indepth book about how to understand what your camera's light meter is saying to you and understand how to compose a shot properly.
You need to read a lot and practice with a camera. I learned photography by reading, lots of it. 20+hours of just reading books on photography. Subscribe to a photography magazine such as Popular Photography. Its fun to read stuff in there and they have helpful tips in most of their magazines.

Your local library should have some books, videos or even samples of cameras, film and digital photography. If you aren't ready to invest a lot of $$ yet, just start out with a OTUC (one time use camera) 400 speed film is the most versitle, meaning it is good for indoor(with a flash) or outdoor use. For brightly lit conditions, the LOWER speed film is best. I'm not crazy about 800 speed. It does make a difference because it's gonna grab and hold that image on the negative. If your talking digital, OPTICAL zoom is what you want. It doesn't matter if it's 900 digital zoom, that just gives the illusion it's closer, it's not clearer. I have a 5 megapixel camera and usually don't have it set on the highest quality setting for printing purposes. If your gonna use it just for ebay or emailing then you don't need many megapixels.It's a fun world, I used to work at a photo lab and totally LOVED my job.
