its basically develope knights and bishops then castling after moving your e pawn up. from there you try and control the center of the board. if the center is open then attack up the middle and if it is closed then attack on the wings that is a general rule. as a beginner you could play g3. and after that develope your bishop and then knight and castle. from there you will have a solid king position and you can try and attack and use your white bishop to help control the center.
Do you mean algebraic notation? It's quite simple.
The capital letter that most move notations start with represents the piece: N-knight, B-bishop, R-rook, Q-queen, K-king. The final part represents the square where the piece moved. For example, if you see Nc6 on a scorecard it means that the knight moved to the square c6. If there is no capital letter, just e4 or something like it, that means the move was a pawn move. If there is a "x" in the middle of a move notation, that means that a piece or pawn was taken. 0-0 means castle kingside, 0-0-0 is the same queenside. The letters e.p. stand for the en passant rule--if you don't know that rule, this site has a great explanation in the FAQ. Something like e8=Q means a pawn moved onto the last square and promoted itself to a queen.
