No bg in programming is not very helpful. I suggest you do some 
tutorials. For instance, the PiTFT has this:

https://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/adafruit-pitft-28-inch-resistive-touchscreen-display-raspberry-pi.pdf

It shows how you can display images from the shell. Next, do a tutorial 
on Python programming, e.g. https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide 
- but you shold choose one that fits your way of learning. Maybe there 
is a RasPI tutorial also, which shows you how to read from the GP ports, 
I'm too lazy to google it now - just try combinations of API, tutorial, 
documentation with keywords like RasPI, GP, GP programming etc.

Finally you can wire this all up. An experienced programmer with no 
previous knowledge of RasPI can do this within half an hour by reading 
these guides. Your biggest task is to understand programming. Have fun!
