I'm a noob at driving a manual car as well. I don't have my Si yet but I've driven a handful of cars to prepare myself, including RedSIinPA's Si. The easiest way I've found is to quickly move from the brake to gas and rev the car to about 1000 RPM and then ease off the clutch. The first time I took a car with stick out on public roads it was a 2000 Corolla and I ended up and a VERY steep incline at a red light with a car maybe two feet behind me. I did that and didn't slide back at all. Some people use the e-brake to help them when starting out but I felt it was just one more thing to coordinate with everything else and wasn't worth it. Just find some hills where there's no traffic and practice until you feel comfortable. If you can find a parking lot with an incline, that'd be a great place to start.
