FPGA's are complicated devices. You're better off purchasing a starter board that has a working layout and design with some prototyping pins than trying to work out something yourself.

As for plcc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/plastic_leaded_chip_carrier), I think any search engine would come up with something in the top 10 searches.
