Hey:
Everyone has to start somewhere, so no worries about being a beginner! There is a really good writeup on the roomba SCI here:
http://www.robotappstore.com/Knowledge-Base/3-Serial-Port-Baud-Rate-Configuration/17.html
It goes into the where the physical location of the serial connector is as well as how to send basic commands down to it. The roomba initially was just a vacuum cleaner, but irobot now has the Icreate - which is essentially the same as the roomba except no vacuum.
Are you trying to use ROS specifically? It might be quicker to start out by using real-term and following the tutorial. If you have any direct questions feel free to post them up here & I'll try to get back to you on them.
Best, Ryan
