starting with arduino !

yes ok . But I 'm a bit afraid with learning another new programming language like the arduino processing one....
I'm not a developper coder. Is it really accessible for a newbie coder? what's the best way to start this all?

isn't it possible to plug sensors directly on the arduino (like the interface-z.com or infusionsystems.com ones) and manage the data flow ...only... with out playing with the breadboard and the resistances ... and programming the microcontroller....?
