Get books. Really. The vast majority of the 'information' you'll
find online is simply incorrect. Get books. You'll be glad you did.
I second the recommendation of Francis' "You Can Do It" book (it simply
slipped my mind when I responded before). I'm not in its target audience,
so I don't have a copy, but I did peruse one in a book store, and I feel
it is of high quality. (And a 'bonus', Francis is a regular participant
here.).
