Read the FAQ to start, and write some small programs. If you need additional help with that, or if you've already done it and you have more specific RPG questions, let us know. ^_^

It's at the top of the beginner's section.

The best thing to do when starting out is start small. Even something as simple as Pong can help you to understanding how to make a game. Start small, then build up.
The worst thing to do is start with something complex. I guarentee that unless you've got a plan as to how your game will work, how the GBA works, and you know the steps/tasks in bringing your game to life, you will most definitely fail.

There was a page written by (I think)Geoff Frohwein about what order you should choose when deciding what games to begin making. e.g. 1: pong clone, 2: tetris clone, 3: Mario vs Luigi clone etc., but I have no idea where I found it or why I can't find it again.

I found this link on game.dev.net: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/design/features/makegames/ that had the order as tetris, breakout, pac man, and Mario.
