what do you hear when you turn the ignition?
does it crank?if not,then it would probably be the starter.
if it does,start with the basics. check to make sure the engine is getting fuel and spark at the cylinders then work your way back.
the alternator will only turn on with the engine running so unless you just discharged a brand new battery in 2-3days while running the car,its very unlikely.
