The lower the number the wider the angle. For example a 14mm has a much wider angle (field of view) than a 200mm. Another way to think of it is by zoom but generally you don't see that advertised on lenses, a 200mm would have a lot of zoom where as a 14mm wouldn't have any. For a good starter lens I would recommend a good 35-80mm zoom lens. If you want a prime lens (fixed focal length) I would say a nice 55mm would be a good all around lens. I'll get a few articles posted up for you too.
