I would highly recommend the book, "Understanding Exposure."

the book contain some in-depth information to all the thing you need to know about photography. once you've get a grip of all the aspect, then you can go on to internet to set your own learning schedule.

the problem of researching on internet is that it provides an unorganize source of overwhelming information that is all over the place. it's hard to collect all the info and come up with good learning plan as many of the beginners are confused with the basic knowledge.

By reading the book first, it provides with a very good basis to build on. Therefore, all the info on internet can be used to fill in all the gaps that was not elaborated in the book.
