There are 8 important commands in apt that you should know.
sudo apt-get install filenamehere  # this command will install a file.
sudo apt-get remove filenamehere # this command will uninstall a file 
but NOT its configuration files.
sudo apt-get remove --purge filenamehere  #this command totally removes 
the file & its configs
sudo apt-cache search whatyouwanthere    # this command will help you 
find a package based on the name or whatever you type
sudo apt-cache show packagenamehere   # this command will show you a 
short description of what it does, what it requires etc.
sudo apt-get update                                      # this command 
will update the apt database with the listing of currently available 
packages.  Very                                                         
                     # good to run frequently
sudo apt-get upgrade                                    # This will 
upgrade any already installed files to the newer versions.
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade                              # this will 
upgrade the entire distribution if you have made changes to your 
sources.list file.

while apt-get is a wonderful program and I use it ALOT ( I type faster 
then I mouse ) for someone just learning I can't recommend synaptic 
enough.  I use both.  Synaptic can do all that I showed above and 
probably more.  Plus it will warn you BEFORE you install if something 
your installing will break something OR will grab any dependencies like 
cabextract for you automatically.

I hope this short dissertation helped.
