If you only got interested in coding today, I'll give you some useful advice:
Delete Irrlicht and go learn C++ or .Net
If you expect to just download Irrlicht and expect to write games, you'll just end up disapointing yourself.
You need to know how things work, how the language works, how 3D math works, and how the engine works, before you delve into a full-fledged 3D graphics API.
Check out the FAQ, the tool lists, and any other game programming resource you can get your hands on. I recommend:
http://www.cprogramming.com
http://www.cplusplus.com
http://www.gamedev.net

Remember this, it'll take a while, but when you're fully educated, and know how C++ or .Net works, you'll have a much easier time learning and applying the engine.

Sorry, just HAVE to say something here, happened here by chance today and like .... DUH! The poster is either a complete computer illiterate or is completely waisting our time, doesn't even know how to unzip an archive much less what one is? Come on, anyone interested in game design CAN'T be that stupid or they're really not worth anyone's time.
