You don't actually learn skills, you have them innately, all you need are the tools to be able to interact with the nodes, which you can buy at the professions area.
Currently Procrastinating
he means the crafting areas in any of the cities. each crafting trainer will sell tools as well
You can do gathering without training anything, but you'll need tools like a mining pick, logging axe and harvesting sickle. You can learn two crafting disciplines, but are able to change them for a cost. Here's an article from the GW2 wiki about crafting: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crafting
Gather:
To gather nodes from world just simply get gathering tools from vendor and equip them.

Salvage:
You can break most items into materials by using Salvage Kits that vendors are selling:

Lol, how long did you wait to make this post?
The game teaches you about gathering after your first few levels and gives you some basic tools.
Mining, foraging, and woodcutting are default "skills", you just need a tool to perform them.
As for crafting professions, you can "know" 2 at a time but you don't lose the levels you gained if you switch to a different crafting profession. So in theory, one character can max out all crafting professions but you have to pay each time you switch professions.
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

Like this:
And extra tip:
One more thing: If you have played other MMOs, you are familiar with having to share harvesting nodes or being annoyed when a group member runs off to harvest. GW2 is not like that. Everyone can see the node and every one can harvest it. The node refresh timer is personal. You also get a TON of experience for harvesting.

Oh man, didn't know that about holding down control. That's kinda cool!
ctrl and alt keys goes back to GW1, as it does the same thing there
