TBH my best friend after getting the DSLR was google. I'd snap away and when I wanted to try something different or see how someone had got a certain effect/result I'd google it, then go outside and play with the camera some more. Using this method I have learnt enough to know that I have a very loooooong way to go before saying I have mastered photography 
As has been said above get out there and shoot shoot shoot best way to learn.
Still using my 450D now after 2 seasons and getting some nice pics i bought the 450D Dummies book which helps you to learn your way around the camera but to be honest i read it for a while a very short while then got bored best way is to use the camera try lots of settings and find what suits you and as already said above when buying lenses that all depends on your subject.
Took this with my 450D+Sigma 120-400 a few weeks ago at Brands Hatch through a fence at Druids

So what do you actually use - because a 6x4.5 gives 15 exposures on 120 roll film and 6x7 gives 10 exposures?
The only way to get 12 exposures is by using square format 6cm x6cm.

you can get 120/220 with between 8-36 frames
What a load of waffle.
120 film is 72 cm long. To find out how many shots it can fit on a roll, divide 72 by the second number of the camera's gate measurement, for example, 6x4.5, so divide 72/4.5 = 16, but it's safer to only take 15 shots per roll. 72/6 = 12, 72/7 = 10, 72/9 = 8.
220 roll film is twice as long so 30, 24, 20, 16.
My original question was, what camera were you using that gave you 12 exposures from 120 roll film?
Please don't call me lad - I'm probably older than you.
Sorry its just the way a speak, I generally call guys, lad, man as a general friendly tone. Sorry if that offends you.
Im sorry I must have got confused, and I meant camera not film. I have a 6x6, and a 6x45 been a while since I've used them got my 6x6 and 6x45 confused.
but here is some proof
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/120_film
120 film is 76cm long and depending on format 120 film can have a range of exposures but the ones you speak of are the common usage. I studied fine art photography so some of the formats wernt quite as common like panoramic cameras etc
Whats with the tone? its just a discussion.

I can't hear any tone - I myself have been a medium format user with a Bronica 6x4.5 and Rollieflex 6x6.
I was just interested to learn which system you used and you still haven't told me - no problem. :|

I have a bronica 6x45 ETRSI and also a rolli! snap lol But I have some other weird and wonderful MF cameras I will dig them out and get the names as they escape my memory.
Best two cameras to get into medium format, although I got a lot of stick for getting the Bronica at Uni as they wernt very popular. Pentax and Mamiya were more popular but a lot more expensive.
Although my gf is a photographer too and let her borrow my 40mm F4 PE lens and my grip which both were stolen on a shoot
That 40mm PE was mint I managed to get it new as the shop never sold it, it still has its £900 price tag on it. Managed to get it for a steal!
That lens was lovely to use and I was really gutted. But have a 150mm and a 75mm for the Bronica just the normal kit lenses. Only just replaced the grip the other week so hoping to get out with it into the hills and shoot some landscapes.
Always wanted a mamiya 6x7 tho... But my funds were limited at Uni and now I dont use film as much as I would like. I primarily do advertising and documentary photography for the newspaper I work for so digi it is! But its nice to get the MF out every once in a while. Theres nothing like shooting with it.
