There is no succinct path to learning any mathematical subject, every learning takes its due time. But in the meanwhile, Allen Hatcher's book is a very good book to learn algebraic topology as he takes the reader through the course thoroughly.
Also, it helps that he puts the book up online in pdf form for free.
