There are tons of good books out there and you will learn from all of them.  There is also tons of free stuff on the web simply by searching "learning technical analysis".  But, do you want to know one of the best ways to learn the important aspects of technical analysis?  Just follow along with Matt and Steve everyday.  You'll learn by repetition while you are getting the basics wherever else you do.   Warning: I've been learning over 15 years now and there is always something new to discover.

I would suggest learning basic candlesticks, basic chart patterns, support & resistance, and important indicators as your initial focus.

I Like Bulkowski's books.  They are listed on his site.  http://thepatternsite.com/Blog.html 

Buy two very good books.  One is Technical Analysis by Edwards and Macgee (this is very dry and slow reading but it is the "Bible" of technical analysis.  Agreat book that I bought over 20 years ago is called "How charts can help you in the stock market" by William Jiler.  This book was out of print for years, but they brought it back a few years ago.  Excellent book.  Great charts. Simple explanations too.

you can look at some educational stuff at my old website: it was never fully completed, but it's a start
