I tried it by myself, which was very interesting, but after a few days of frustration and failing miserably to solve the last layer I had to get some help...

"Notes on Rubik's Magic Cube" by David Singmaster (damn, that was confusing!, lol). I think it was the first work ever published about the cube. Still a great read, I like old school stuff.

Then I learned F2L by myself (it wasn't very efficient of course) but I like figuring things out. Then videos from badmephisto, frk17, and some others. OLL and PLL algs from Yu Nakajima and Erikk Akkersdijk.

I am not important enough in the cubing community to be hated upon. That taken care of, I find pogobat's beginner tutorial to be the best for absolute noobs.

Dude, do you mind if I use that line in future posts? Awesome

OT: Downloaded the official Rubiks Cube app on my iPhone. There was a badmephisto type beginners method in the instructions. Then I got a real cube.
So it's basically Apples fault that I spend so much time cubing and that I have 25 odd 3x3x3s in my living room...

I may be the only person on the forums that learned from this tutorial, but I learned from a series named: How to solve the Rubik's Cube for Dummies. It was VERY helpful and instructive. I still managed to take 2 months to learn, but that was mostly me.
