You can get gasless migs but dont bother there a waste of time.
most migs use 100% co2 or i think its 20%argon 80% co2. You can get 100% argon but i think thats for if your welding stainless etc.
Requires time and practice not something you can learn from a book but does help to know some of the theory behind what your doing.

I've got a mig welder and only use the gassless part and find its actually very good, but ainsley_braders point on the fact that u cant learn from a book are true, buy a piece of sheet steel from a bodyrepair shop and just practice welding at different temps and speeds.
Practice does indeed make perfect!
