In addition to the advice given so far about recipes and books, let me add this: Buy good equipment. Buy good knives. Buy a good sharpening steel, and learn to use it. Buy good pots and pans. Buy a few good tools- spatulas, scrapers, etc.
The consistency that good equipment (and by good, I don't mean professional, just better than cheap) gives you in learning to cook is well worth the investment, both in terms of your time to master the art, and in terms of the stuff you have to throw out because it is inedible.
Oh, and keep your stuff clean. Try not to leave dishes dirty, even overnight. This helps your investment last longer.
Good luck!
