Too much info!

There is really much information so there are several approaches you can take.  One is to try to fully understand all the technology, the other is to simply use it. Both approaches are perfectly fine. https://bitcoin.org is a really good resource.

Bitcoin has a steep learning curve. It took me more than a day to just understand the very basics (create a wallet, send a transaction, make a backup, etc), and much longer time for me to really understand how bitcoin works under the hood.

As a newbie, you just need to start by learning the basics using those great links posted already, and leave those complicated stuff and jargon behind at this moment.
