You might get one of the Sunset or Ortho books on decks, or check your local library. Certainly no shortage of books and pictures on the subject. The key to building one is to not overspan any of the "layers" (the girders, the joists, and the decking itself). WHAT you use for each of these 3 "layers" will determine how far you need to space things.

In addition to what lefty said, you also can visit http://www.bhglive.com/homeimp/ and click on the Decks section.
Good Luck!
