The first mission has a top/bottom choice: this is done for top. As usual, the first mission is essentially a "learn how the troops move" kind of mission - merely build up to 2500 sol. The map is tiny. Build your concrete, put down a windtrap, then a refinery. Preferably near the sand :). Toss on a silo or two, sit back, and mine. Send your guys out to scout, but don't worry much about attacks. There's a sandworm "trapped" in the corner so you can learn what they look like.
