Hi Irving

few weeks ago, i was in the same situation as you describe above.
Fortunately i found  the "Arduino-Project"  (http://arduino.cc).
This project is  perfect for beginners in AVR uC programming.


e.g. the arduino IDE creates a commandline and you can see how 
the avrdude is called to flash the uC.

I did not find a documention for the AVR Wizard included in 
CodeBlocks but first trials gave good results.

I'm also sure there is an option in C::B to start avrdude to flash 
the uC after compiling. 

I still use the Arduino IDE but i would prefer to use C::B in future.
I'm using OpenSuse.
