Congratulations.
Regarding Basecamp, it will be a lot of blood, sweat, and a significant amount of tears! However the best way, is to read up on how to use it - plenty of suggestions, links and advice here, then using the thing and keep using it. Will you make mistakes? Certainly, but it is part of the learning curve.
It is very powerful, but its learning curve is very steep.
