i commend you on your effort to get into the gym and workout. but you need to have a solid plan. If you're just starting out then i would suggest sticking to a simple plan. like some have suggested, 5x5 is a good basic program. your plan will also be determined by your goals. are you planning for a sport? are you just trying to gain lean muscle? are you trying to bulk? are you going to bodybuild or powerlift? the more specific you are when it comes to your goals, the more specific you can start creating or choosing the right program for yourself.
once you start the correct program, rest assured that you will experience DOMS. when you lift, you break down tiny muscle fibers. when you rest is where you actually build muscle (as long as you give it the right nutrition). So to answer your original question about soreness, if you've chosen the right individual program for yourself and you lift to the point where you break down muscle tissue, then you absolutely will feel DOMS.
