Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
Some knowledge of the Arduino environment is one of the prerequisites for system builders, however you can be sure that will not be because of being starting playing with Arduinos now, that you will have any special difficulty to complete the project.
There isn't any quick guide (I really don't like this kind of things) but there are a lot of topics on the forum about this matter. What could seem more difficult is learning to deal with all the libraries required to compile the software, but in fact its very simple. All the required libraries are included in the software package, you only have to copy all of them to a folder in a specific location.
Supposing you are using windows, create a folder in My Documents called "Arduino", inside that folder create another called "libraries", then copy all the supplied libraries to that folder, and that's it!
And yes, before programing each Arduino your should configure each software to suite your choice of sensors and other things, but let this for later... easily you will know what need to be configured.
At the end, you will have, not just a fully working system, but you also will have the knowledge about how it works. This is the main idea! Following a Guide or an "How To" completely destroy this concept.
For any question, or doubt, I will do my best to try to help.
