Hi I have no idea of how to program in open source code I have some html web programming experience that is very basic is there a website or book that I could buy that could help this?
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
Do this:
follow the getting started instructions on the arduino website, and load the flashing led program. Play with it to vary the timing a bit. Flashing an led is the microcontroller version of "hello world".
Arduino uses a programming language called Wiring that is a lot like C. If you learn C you'll have no trouble with Wiring. If you want to learn Wiring directly, go here.
Please note that there is no such thing as "learning to program in open source code". Open source is just the decision to make your code public in a formal way. It can apply to any language, and there is no language that is intrinsically open source.

Next, you will want to get the "Getting started with Arduino" Ebook
Also you will want to peruse the tutorials section of the arduino website.
That should help you get going.
Good luck!
