1. The book "Understanding Exposure" has done more to improve my photos than any other book. I cannot recommend it strongly enough: http://amzn.to/1SJsbA5
2. Once you understand exposure, you need to understand composition. "The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos" is one of the better books on the subject. http://amzn.to/1SJsyuo
3. Practice. You can read dozens of articles on how to take better photos but nothing is going to replace practice.
4. Look at photos you like and see if you can figure out what elements about it make you like it so much. Look at the framing, composition, lighting, etc.

I have just a few books in my photo how-to shelf. Two are the excellent ones mentioned by sparkchaser. Here is one more:

sparkchaser's points 3) and 4) are also spot on.
If you prefer online tutorials then B&H has some good stuff. Check out their YouTube channel, here is an example:

If you are looking to make videos, then that is a different world than still photography.

@suze - what on earth for? Unnecessary weight and complications, and I have a hard time believing that a disposable camera takes decent photos. I was delighted when digital arrived and I didn't have to cart film around with me. You are no longer limited by what you can carry, and you can take multiple shots without worrying about running out of film and delete the duds.

I agree with thursdaysd . Unless it's for an art project or you're a pretentious hipster, using a disposable film camera in this day and age makes very little sense.
You can buy a Fujifilm P&S that will outperform a disposable camera in practically every aspect for $17: http://amzn.to/1PXw6mK
