You need to figure out your ftp and then put that into your profile, I find the 20min method the easiest, theres a sufferfest video specifically for that you might find useful, I think its called the rubber glove.
Then after that I would just accumulate data for a while. And while you do that read the internets to understand what all the bloody numbers mean. You'll figure it out bit by bit, and you'll also figure out what you can do and can't do power-wise.
In terms of software, trainingpeaks is popular, but personally I like GoldenCheetah better which whilst initially is very intimidating, is a very good program with a lot of capabilities.
