Programing for begginers

Hi All,

        Over the last few months I have finished building the Rover Explorer, I used the sample program from Oddbot, and have sorted out some of the misstakes I made wiring it all up.

        I want to try my hand at simple programing, Now I have no Idea how to do this, I am hoping some-one can suggest some tutuarial or some basic reading, I need to know what and how to type in, what each skript does / effect , for example, 1000 is one second in the flashing led example, if I change that to 100, I asume the led will flash 10 times a second. an idiots guide to the basics for Arduno or similar.

Any ideas will be very much appriciated.

Peter
