Maybe start with some online beginners tutorial in 'C' language.

The green bar at the top of every page on the site has a row of pulldown menus.

One of them is named Learning. Try putting the mouse pointer over that. Wake Up.

First thing I did even before I got my board (it was being shipped) was to bookmark the Arduino site pages.

Here's a good one:

Load and run the examples that come with the IDE. Look at the code.

The book "Beginning C for Arduino" is pretty good. Amazon has it HERE
