For dj'ing, starting with the real thing is good. I myself dont spin vinyl, but i make music. Quick overview-recently in a computer mag they compared frooty loops and reason. The guy writing it said fl is the easiest to learn to start making tracks. I personally am a reason user. Reason for me is one of the most powerful music making apps. I will post some examples tomorrow maybe. The reason i bring reason up is that i have made 4 bar tracks, put it on loop, and by just controlling the mixer made some killer sounds.
If you did not understand much of what i said, you still have a long way to go, but that is what this forum is for, and there are lots more.
A guy at work uses virtual dj. Us real musicians usually think of applications like that as childrens toys. It might be a good place to start, but that is up to you. Maybe get a hold of some real djs to show you what its about before spending money on it. It takes hard work and dedication to get good at anything, even spinning tracks well.

I'm one of those people using Virtual DJ, it's okay but I find prone to "freezing" up while I'm in the middle of mixing my mp3's.

If your first starting out, then I reccomend getting a "DJ in a Box" for about 200 quid, you'll get 2 turntables a mixer, headphones possibly a mic (so you can randomly shout "shabba") and all the leads - practice there first before you jump on the easier mickey mouse DJ apps...
£200 might sound a lot but dj'ing is a an expensive game, and i'd go for CD decks first, purely for the reason you can make any cd's you want to practice and you can easily spend 500 quid on vynl just to get your collection started. when your better and feel confident then go for some more expensive decks with more features - as with everything you get what you pay for, but if your serious about it, its well worth it.
I stay with mixing now, a few years ago I was heavily into bootlegging (using dance tracks with other vocals/acapella's over the top) for which I did use a DJ app (Sony Acid Pro 5) and a few of which are still out there to download if you look hard enough, fun for a while but dont be under the impression that doing something like that you'll be accepted as a musician some of the top young producers and remixers like lil deviantz and ALX use these music creation software but they have an appeciation and can mix using decks like the best of them

As Minstrel_Man said, about 500 pounds, but I am not sure in your currency how much it is. And also with that, it might be more expensive. I do not know other prices.
