Comp Chem Education
Here I will list various useful books, websites, videos and online PDFs that are useful for learning molecular computational chemistry.
If you are new to computational chemistry, don't try to learn the subject by reading research papers. That will only get you confused. Reviews on computational chemistry are better but it's best to find real educational material like a textbook or online educational material.
Recommended books
Start with one of these, they are nice overviews of most methods and theory:
Essential of Computational Chemistry - Christopher J. Cramer
Introduction to Computational Chemistry - Frank Jensen
Then look at these:
A Chemist's Guide to Density Functional Theory - Koch and Holthausen
Molecular quantum mechanics - Atkins
Modern Quantum Chemistry - Szabo & Ostlund
The ABC of DFT by Kieron Burke (free online book on DFT)
Websites
Jan H Jensen's brief introduction to basis sets
Nice courses on computational chemistry with good online material:
