also, how i'm i going to apply the vinculum command sets such as WRF and CLF ? will the compiler be able to understand them?
Have you read the code examples posted here? How to read and write are both here.

As for a compiler, PBP is the only one I will recommend.
Practice blinking LEDs with the demo version and other small things first. Then try something bigger later.

You will not be able to make this work as a first project even if you had the full version of PBP.
