Getting started with STM32F3 DISCOVERY

I got this board free from a giveaway like 2 years ago (Thanks HaD for publicizing!) and finally decided on a use for it: a "push-to" telescope computer. Attach to your existing scope, set the time and location, look up a space object, and it'll use the compass / gyro to tell you how to aim right at it.

But I am having a really hard time finding out how to get started with this - my uC experience is limited to PIC and Arduino, never done ARM anything. I found CooCox IDE and the GNU port for ARM GCC - is this a good combination for a beginner? ST's site is really, really unhelpful in getting started.
