Detailing the process is a bit outside of what I plan to discuss here. There are plenty of resources out around the web already that will do a better job of explaining this process than I can. That said, there's not much to it -- the files you need are here and all you need to do (more or less) is upload them to your PCB fabricator of choice and, after a few days, they'll ship them to you. I've used OSHPark for the prototypes and I can assure you that they turn out fantastic (purple) boards.
