as above i have upgraded to full acc and am in a corp (usa) am uk based so i have to stay up real late to meet up with them, etc. anyway what i would like to do is mine and build stuff to sell, am not into pvp just yet. at the moment i am just working my way through the agent based missions at the starting point of the game.
i have got the basics of mining however i have no idea where to start for a industry based profession ie where do i get a blueprint from other than the market place.

any links or guide and advice appreciated, many thanks

Hi Mr Chili Palmer

First thing to check out would be the Research and Manufacturing guide on the Evelopedia. It covers the basics on the industrial aspect of the game.

Since you are already in a corp, it would be a great idea if you could work together with some of them to collect the required resources to start your production.

I can strongly recommend training Production Efficiency skill to reduce the cost.

In regards to blueprints, originals are seeded by NPC corporations in stations, and this would generally be the way to get a hold of one. Copies can be purchased through the contracts market.
The advantage of buying these, is that usually other players have already researched these, to make them more efficient.
Special copies can also be found as loot from rare NPCs and exploration sites, but these are generally not used for mass production, and the profit made from these does not rely on being a good industrialist, but rather being lucky enough to find them.

If you are looking for a small industry corp. Contact me ingame. My corp is pretty small but we're really friendly. I joined myself when I was completely new to the game and they helped me ALOT!

I'm from EU TZ. Some other from US, so you should have people to talk with :)
