Thanks for that.. I'm probably just aiming to put on a bit of muscle.. currently 5ft 9in and just under 10 stone.. I have dumbbells, barbell and pull up bar in the house so would like to utilise these.. I have been doing basics for the past 6 weeks and noticed a slight difference..

Like @TGR suggested, stronglifts will be good to build a strength base, and nail the core compound lifts. You'll need a rack of some kind for squats though . The app is decent too for tracking
Stronglifts, unsurprisingly, wil get you strong , but it's not necessarily going to get you ripped. If visible aesthetic muscle combined with strength is important, some of the power building programs might suit. I did Mike Matthews bigger, leaner , stronger for a while. Enjoyed it and had good results . Plenty of spreadsheets for it online. The book is worth a read too, and has a brief passage on nutrition that contains the basics of protein intake , macros etc. Has no machine exercises in it, like stronglifts you'll need barbell, dumbbells, bench and rack .

There are plenty of apps and decent spreadsheets available online, across loads of different types of workouts. What is it you want to achieve: Pure strength? Aesthetics ? Conditioning ? Find one that suits your goals.
If you are entirely new to strength training , it's also worth reading up on nutrition and rest too. Without getting these right , progress will be much slower (apologies if I'm stating the obvious)
