Read John Palmers book (1st edition is free!!) How to Brew, its online. . .
A starter kit is great. I would recommend begining with an extract brew to see if it's your cup of tea. You can practice your sanitation, get your equipment settled, learn readings on a hydrometer and learn about temperature controlling, fermenting etc. Then if you are a craft brew drinker I would graduate fairly quickly to all grain. It's more time a little more money on equipment but if you love the hobby it expands your horizons to a practically limitless variety as far as your imagination can go. Cheers and welcome to a VERY satisfying hobby.
