The Protoss have very expensive units, however they are among the strongest and durable. All Protoss warriors and vehicles have shielding which will regenerate over time. Their workers, the probes, warp in buildings, which frees them to queue up other tasks. Buildings must be constructed near their food sources, pylons. If a pylon is ever destroyed, a building will shut off.
As with other factions, you'll want to set your nexus producing more workers and at least one assimilator to produce gas. You'll want to guard your choke points with gateways. Because zealots have no ranged attacks, you'll actually want to set the rally point outside your barrier. To help support your infantry, make a few photon cannons. However, don't make too many cannons, as being defensive will rarely lead to a victory. Take a zealot (or probe) towards your enemy base and scout out what they are constructing.
Surprisingly, many of the Protoss units do not have anti-air capacities. Your goal should be to construct a cybernetics core, a stargate, and either a fleet beacon or robotics bay. Stalkers are a good basic unit for fighting air enemies, and the colossus is very powerful for fighting ground troops. However, your best bet is to form a fleet of void rays and/or carriers, which can damage both ground and air. Place all of your starports into a control group and your build up forces into another group.
As you march forward with the attack command, continue to produce units depending on your resources. Carriers along with interceptors should be the main focus, with void rays being secondary. If you're low on gas, continue to produce zealots to support your stronger vehicles.
