Microcontroller › 8051 › Up down reset counter with 7 segment displays › One step at a time is better

Allright, I think I'm wanting too much at the same time.

As said, I'm totally new on electronics and programming.
What I would like to build is a 'scoreboard' which has the following functions/indications:
Player 1:
1 x 2 digit 7 segment score (0-99) by up/down for points
1 x 1 digit 7 segment score (0-9) by up/down for sets
Player 2:
1 x 2 digit 7 segment score (0-99) by up/down for points
1 x 1 digit 7 segment score (0-9) by up/down for sets
What I would like to have is one reset switch which will result in resetting all above mentioned scores.

The above mentioned score is visible to the 'player-side', but off course the referee needs to be able to see and check the score also.
So the same amount of 7 segment displays need to be placed on the 'referee-side' of the scoreboard, and off course they should indicate the same scores as the player-side.

So off course I want to build the whole bunch in one time, but maybe it is better to start with only one up/down 2-digit 7segment counter and a reset function.
Does anyone have a instructable for a new-kid for something like this? I see a lot of them on the internet, but most of them are already too difficult for me.
I don't even know how to upload the code to the microcontroller, so I'm looking for a instructable on that low-educated level.

Please help me! I need to start somewhere :-)
