Hey, so I just got back from the store, where I bought this:
I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for what I should do first. I would love a small project with a tutorial just to get the lay of the land.
I know NOTHING about electronics other than how to wire up a light bulb to a AA battery, so any helpful guides on this stuff to get started would be great. I would also love to find a tutorial on how to code the damn thing. I don't think is exactly the same syntax as an Arduino but here's some example code cause I may be wrong (please tell me if I am). Also if you have any of you have any ideas for any components that might be useful, as well as cheap starter kits, please tell me (And yes I do know that should get a bread board, but I only had $25 to play with).

Code:
CON
_CLKMODE = XTAL1 + PLL16X
_CLKFREQ = 80_000_000
OBJ
Buttons : "Touch Buttons"
PUB Main
Buttons.start(_CLKFREQ / 100) ' Launch the touch buttons driver sampling 100 times a second
dira[23..16]~~ ' Set the LEDs as outputs
repeat
outa[23..16] := Buttons.State ' Light the LEDs when touching the corresponding buttons
