Johnny,
I would advise you to start with simple examples like blinking an LED. Then try harder things once you can do the basics. Remember the saying "do not try to run before you can walk" In other words it is best not to try something that is too hard when you are first starting out.
Good luck Pedro 8)

There are some nice, easy to follow lessons and projects here.

Like Pedro says, start slow & easy. Then, build up to more complex things.
