For a noob you want to get a T1 frigate for PvP, buy 50 of them +T1 fit, nothing fancy(read T1 fit). Once they are all gone you will have a better understanding of how the fleet operates, how to stay alive, and what works/does not work. (Don't forget to upgrade your clone) Flying the frig will also force you to learn about Orbits, threat ranges, and paying attention to fleet activity. It also ensures you do not have too many buttons to distract you during your formative PvP stages. Once you finish your frigates of fifty deaths, you may now graduate to cruisers, or specialized roles as a frigate. Your goal should be to keep frigate cost under 1 mil to start with, and cruiser cost under 10 mil. As you progress in PvP you will discover your preferred playing style, and once you advance to cruisers you can start delving into t1 equivalents of logi/recon/ahac. Should you lose all 50 cruisers I would be shocked as most of the hulls are survivable with a good FC/fleet composition, and the hard lessons were learned with frigates.
In real time this should take about six months of time, when not PvPing you can fly PvE to make isk. I would recommend your training be attributed to int/mem with a focus on support skills once you have frigate/cruiser/weapon system skill to level four and weapon system support skills to three for the race you plan to fly. This will allow you to work on the core skills that make every ship you fly better. Then train cybernetics to level three and get some +3 implants for int/mem. Train all engineering/electronics/navigation/mechanic skills for subcapital ships in PvP to level four, then top off engineering/mechanic/ electronics skills to five for the ships you plan to fly (no need to max ewar if no intent to fly them). You should come out of this training set at about the same time your ships are gone. At this point you can either continue to max the electronics/engineering/mechanic skills (takes about a year), or remap to perception/will for weapons and ship skills.
