What are good books to learn the basics??

its a good book for getting an understandable explanation of exposure, aperture, shutter speed and ISO and how they all relate and link together. Note that most books for photography will cover this material as well in a general sense, but understanding exposure tends to give a more complete explanation than they do. 
Other than that, I'd tip you about visiting the library and looking through books there - and then bying what ever books you want/need.
A user friendly computer first requires a friendly user.
