The Answer can't be done in a few words.
First you need a Compiler to write the Source code for the application.
There it's AVR Studio 4 for Assembler and debugging.
BASCOM gives you a BASIC IDE.
AVR GCC is an "C" Compiler.

Then the Project will be buildet and some files will be generated.
The generated .hex File is the Machinecode Program for the Controller.
The .eep File is the download File for the EEPROM section - when needed.

This files must be programmed into the Controller.
Basicly there are 3 possible programming Modes to do that.
Programming by In System Program ( ISP ).
Programming by High Voltage Programing.
Programming by JTAG - possible at AVR Controllers >=ATMEGA16.

Fore this 3 Methods are very much Programers in the Internet.
The cheapest and easyest to USE are ISP Programmers.
The Programer must work together with your IDE or you need a special Program e.g. PonyProg.
A working Duo is AVRISP MKII and AVR Studio 4.
Or a self buildet ISP Programmer and PonyProg.
There are very much solutions for this problem.

The best Way for you will be to lease / buy a Book about AVR Programming.
