How Do You Take Cuttings From Plants?

I was wondering what kind of plants or trees can be multiplied by the cutting method. I remember my mom collecting cuttings from everywhere and she would "root" them. What do you do with the cuttings and how long does this take? I think that she stuck the twig or leaf in a small pot of wet soil. That is about all that I am sure of.

Do you need the rooting compound? How long do they need to stay in the soil before they have roots? Should you use potting soil or plain old dirt? Do I need to put them under something to keep the humidity in or would that make them rot?
