Any suggestions on how to start guys?

My suggestion is to find a game that truly gives you value. Some of the things to take into account:
a) how much you enjoy the game
b) your current skill at the game
c) your future skill at the game
d) the skill of your opponents at the game
e) the future skill of your opponents at the game
f) games that your friends play
g) games that you can easily grow from (b) to (c) above
I suspect that 6-max hold'em is likely to do quite well on each of those attributes.

I can afford to play .25/.50 (20 buy-ins)now but what do you guys think is the best way to really curb the learning curve.(that sentence sounds weird in my head).

20 buy-ins is a common standard for a "winning" player. If you have 20 buy-ins for $50NL 6-max, I'd suggest that you move up and down as soon as you cross the 20 buy-in threshold. Thus, if you're comfortable 4-tabling, and you have $561, I'd suggest two $50NL tables and two $25NL tables.
Of course, the number of tables you'll want to play is dependent on what you're used to. I went from 12-tabling SNGs, so 4-tabling cash was easy.
In addition, the player skill level at 25nl and 50nl is likely to be very, very similar.
I suspect that anyone who reads these forums and is trying to win can beat 25nl and below, so that might be a good place to start.
Reading these forums is as good a technique as any to get good.
