It's a good start, and you came to the right place. We have folks here from complete beginners to seasoned experts.

Look around in the archives some, there's some good explanations of how VFDs work.

To get started, it might make sense to buy a ready-made PSU somewhere. I've bought some from surplus outfits that supply both the filament voltage and the anode/grid voltages. Here's a picture of a Russian VFD I'm lighting up using one of these power supplies: http://www.vitriol.com/images/tech/vfd.jpeg Your display displays digits instead of a row of dots, but the principle is the same. We're always happy to answer questions, explain things, and make suggestions.
