at the risk of self-promotion, i have the (free) beginning of a
kernel programming course for newbies here:
http://crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming-2nd-edition/introduction-linux-kernel-programming-2nd-edition
it covers the basics of getting, configuring and building your first
kernel. everything that's there right this minute is public content,
so help yourself if you find it useful.
