How can a newbie get started with mining?

You must know the device
Because before doing that much you have to understand about the device

1. Get a mining program for your computer,
2. Understand the basics mining,
3. You will need a mining client to run on your computer,
4. Control and monitor your mining rig,
5. You will need to find the right software.

After you have done all of the above and mining clients are working perfectly what's next?

I see one of my workers have 2,348 accepted - what does that mean? How does that get converted into Bitcoins in my account?

To get started you should read the threads in the hardware section. This will help you figure out what hardware toy want.
Then use Google to find some articles to give you the basics, and also read the beginners section here in the forum
From there figure out your electricity costs, and see if it will be profitable for you to mine.
If you have the electrical and physical space, wherever you want to set up. Buy a miner whichever one you can afford and has the potential to turn a profit.
Then pick a pool to mine with and go from there. Once you get past the should I buy one point the forums are a great resource for info.

guys..since its getting more and more difficult to mine its still worth it building gpu mining rigs at this time ?

thx

You can build GPU rigs for alt coin mining. For information on this you need to post and read in the alt coin section.

You can only mine bitcoin with Asic machines.

Buying some ASIC mining off course (I suggest Antminer s9). And also, you need to knows basic knowledge about cryptocurrency and mining itself. After all, experience is a best teacher. So, learning by doing is the best way.

First, all you need to do before buying some rig or install any program is understand what is bitcoin and how it works. If you understand about this technology then you'll never ask this question. When you wish to start mining it's a sign that you understand it needs a basic knowledge of computer programming language.

Basically, to be a miner, doesn't need basic knowledge of computer programming language. but yes, if we knows basic knowledge of computer programming language, it will help us more easier to understand mining process.

I am computer science international certified guy. I think you are making shit post still you are looking only to make more. your post simply symbolize that only not a other things.
If you know what is bitcoin and earning options in bitcoin also will never allow you to do the mining setup by own.
Until you tried it by own you will never knows the how the set up and mining process is moving forward.

Wow the professor is coming.
So you think I am making a shit post? And what about you? You're making a god damn beautiful greatest ever post here? There's nothing wrong with my sentence. This is how's the forum works, you discuss anything and share your thoughts.
What I said is you will need a basic knowledge of bitcoin and computer before start buy some mining rig or you'll die with regret because you can't setup your $3000 hardware.

What software can you recommend for us?

Depends on which coin you want to mine.  If you want to mine Bitcoin, it is only directly mined via ASIC miners.
If you want to mine via CPU or GPU, go to the altcoin section.  This is the Bitcoin only section and we have long since left CPUs and GPUs behind.
