The Terran have the advantage of units with a balanced cost-to-durability ratio. Their buildings are both repairable and mobile, allowing them to withstand powerful assaults and escape from danger. The Terran's main strength is the quick accessibility to ranged attacks. Even the most basic unit, marines, have powerful rifles that can even damage air enemies.
Like all factions, you'll want to place your command center in your first control group and set its rally point towards the nearby minerals. Order your SCVs to constantly gather minerals, while your command center produces more workers. To save money, never queue more than one worker, as it will expend resources that could be spent elsewhere. However, you'll want to manually produce workers constantly by switching to your control group. Once you have around six workers, order a SCV to place a supply depot, which will increase your food stock. A good placement for your depots are at choke points and ramps, which will help block off enemy assaults. While your SCV is building the depot, queue it to return to the mineral patch once construction is done.
The next two building you'll want up are the refinery, which let's you gather vespene gas--the second building material--and a barracks, which will produce your infantry. Like the supply depot, a good placement for your barracks is at choke points. Be sure to set your rally point inside your barrier, as your troops can fire passed the buildings. As with command centers, don't queue multiple infantry in a barracks, instead build a second barracks to produce more troops. Be sure to place any barracks you make into a separate control group.
This is a good time to start scouting. Take either a single SCV or marine and march them into the enemy's base. This can momentarily harass them, but more importantly will reveal what they are constructing. You'll want to build an army that will effectively counter their plans. If your enemy is using mostly ground forces, siege tanks and banshees are a strong bet. For fighting an airforce, consider vikings and marines. Set up multiple factories and/or starports--all of which should have control groups--and start building your army. This force will cost a considerable amount of resources, so be sure to build more refineries and a command center in a nearby resource expansion. With a sizable army, place them all into a control group and send them towards the enemy via the attack command. If your assault is effectively damaging the enemy, consider changing your rally points closer to the battle itself.
