2003 Mazda6S, Engine turning over, but car won't start

Hey, guys... The car in the title has a history of issues, this is just the latest (most recent before this was the tail lights going out, which was a simple fuse replacement)... The "Battery" light has been coming on and going off again for a couple of weeks, now, but there's been nothing else happening while driving or starting the car, everything was perfect. Battery is less than two years old, but I didn't drop a ton of money for it...

Anywho, I was driving home yesterday, everything going well, and suddenly the engine died. While I was still coasting, I shifted into Neutral and tried to crank the engine, and it would turn over like normal, but not catch and start.

I guess the long and short of it is, that's where the car's at right now. Key in the ignition, everything seems to work fine, radio comes on, air comes on, but when I crank the engine, it tries and fails to start...

I'm planning on taking the car into a Mechanic in the not too distant future, when I can save up however many hundreds of dollars it's going to take to tow the car down the street and get it fixed, but in the mean time, is there anything anybody can suggest to try to fix it? Parts to replace, et cetera? I don't mind getting my hands dirty, and using YouTube to guide me, I just have no idea where to start...
