A quick Google search for "normalization" brings these up:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization

http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/intro-to-normalization.html


I would also highly suggest this book:
Database Design for Mere Mortals

I would also suggest not doing the single table idea for tables.  Quick an 
dirty it is, but come back and bite you it will.  =)
