Before you even think about post-processing, get 'An Ansel Adams Guide - Basic Techniques of Photography'. It's written by John Schaefer. It's not written from a digital perspective, but there is a great deal of very useful fundamental information in there, which these days of 'post-processing' people don't seem to be aware of.
One important piece of advice, which I very much happen to agree with, is to pick a subject and stick to it. Only in that way will the quality of your work improve. Unfortunately this goes against the spirit of challenges...
