Just popped a spoke - can I fix this?

I've never done wheel work before and am wondering if it's a good idea for me to try and fix my wheel. I was actually just noticing it was out of true and this morning a spoke popped...so much for preventative maintenance!

It's just one spoke that popped, so if I bought a pack of spokes could I just replace the one spoke? From reading on the Park Tool website it seems a truing stand might be in order. Would it be easier to just take it to the shop? I'm not a bike mechanic newbie but as I mentioned I've never done wheel work.

Thanks,
