If you are absolute new at roasting, there are a lot of information online that are freely available to you. All you have to do is to search. If you want to get your hand on a roaster and actually see a roaster in action, you can hang out at your local roastery; or you can take a seminar that many roaster makers have, some seminars charge a small fee, some don't; or you can go to a trainer that has classes to would be roaster, that cost about $1500 for a week not including hotel and airfare; or you can hire a consultant who will come to your place to get you started, that will set you back even more.

I have a little experience stove top roasting (my wife is an expert). But we are planning on getting a hottop or behmor. I have read a lot on roasting online. I appreciate the amount of info sweetmarias puts out there. Once we get the behmor or hottop, i'm sure we will figure it out through trial and error, but i figured it wouldn't hurt to go to some kind of training if it is available.

A great website for home roasters is www.homeroasters.org. It is a forum like this one but with home roasters on it. They even build their own roasters!
