This is directly out of the repair manual.
"Be certain to observe correct polarity connections. Failure to do so will result in almost immediate computer, alternator and regulator destruction. Never allow the jumper cable ends to touch each other."

It could also cook the starter. A lot to check. Start with the main ignition fuse. Then with the starter. If you do get it running take it to have the alternator tested.
