Beer Pong Table!

I am extremely new to the whole ardunio scene. I have made a couple beer pong tables but only using paint. My next project is to make a table beer pong table that will have have a LED line one each side that will light up like Knight Rider style. I was wondering first how I would do this. I have barely any electrical expertise. So i was wondering how would go about adding more to arduino. Then also how the code would work. I have some programming experience but nothing with C#

Good to know since the arduino has nothing to do with C#.

You'll need to check out this and expand on it depending on how many LEDs your trying to line up.

Then its a complex matter of integrating the code from example 5 in this arduino guide.
