To get started using Asymptote, it's a good idea to go through this guide in the following steps:

Follow the instructions on the Downloads and Installation page
Once you have downloaded and installed everything, you may optionally wish to configure TeXnicCenter to use Asymptote, as described on the Basic Configuration page
Look over Basics and skim through Reference or Examples to learn the basics of Asymptote coding
Make a bunch of images!
