thanks for the help!

The best place to get started is the official Arduino website: Arduino.cc.
This is their Getting Started guide which explains all of the basics too: http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage
I recommend Oomlout's tutorial for your first hands-on tutorial. They also have a nice starter kit to get you going.

Good luck, and enjoy!

Bearing in mind that there is no legitimate arduino.com and that the existance of arduino.cc is shrouded in mystery for some reason, I went exploring and discovered a gem: arduino.org - which has never been mentioned on element14 forums until now!

Good find, thanks.
I'm curious what you mean by "the existance of arduino.cc is shrouded in mystery" ?
Thanks,

Hey, Nico. Twas a simple attempt at humor
and also a legitimate complaint
against the rising tide of new users that do not understand
that going to a product's primary support site (OEM) is the proper starting point. Come on let's put on our thinking caps and ask: "How much would it cost per year to register arduino.com and redirect it to arduino.cc?" and "Would doing that assist more than 1000 new users every year at a cost of less than 2 cents per user?"
-=Syntax Matters=-
True that. But who knows, learning to go to the OEM site may be part of the general learning process 
I agree about the funny .cc ending - it made me wonder about it being legit when I first saw it.
I'm betting that the squatter who owns Arduino.com will be asking for a large sum of money to give it up though, which may be impractical.
On the bright side, the top item of a Google search for "Arduino" sends you to Arduino.cc.
You are probably right. I found who owns the arduino.com domain name. It is
