The first year that I decided to grow tomatoes from seed in a container, it only yielded a half dozen of the fruit. But I had so much fun and I was very proud of my spindly plant. I was amazed with myself that I could grow anything at all especially since I consider myself gardening-challenged. So, I say go for it!
There are so many great resources out there, which I wish I would've consulted that first time, that will help with getting you started.
Here's a few more to add to the ones others have already been mentioned:

Lasagna Gardening for Small Spaces
And I second the garden web forums. Lot's of information there, but like any forum you have to find the advice that works for you and your style of gardening.
Have fun and best of luck!

ETA: If you have a closet to spare, you could convert it into a grow room. It seems you do have to be prepared to tell guests that notice the light seeping from the bottom of the door that you are not growing pot in there. Well, unless you are of course!
