Watch Good Eats. Get yourself 2 cookbooks: Better Homes and Gardens and the Joy of Cooking (though some will argue as to which edition of the JoC is best, the most recent is supposed to be pretty good and address a lot of basics).
Start simply, with meals that don't require 4 pots or lots of slicing and dicing. Look through the cookbooks and see what appeals to you. Look on Food Network's website--it's a good resource too.
Really, only you can decide what you like and what you feel comfortable cooking.
