I just started building Uke's last year. They are a whole lot of fun to make and play. I had no clue either but my wife lived in Hawaii once and her dad bought her a Uke. It was a Soprano Uke so I modeled them after that. But what you will find is that there are 4 styles of uke, 5 if you count the bass uke which is a weird but cool instrument. The soprano, concert, tenor and baritone in order of small to large.
They are all nylon string as far as I know, the bass strings are almost like rubber. I got most of my info from just googling around and a few tips at the OLF. Good luck, they really are lots of fun.
