Learning to program is easier if there is someone you can discuss things with in person. Is there a person or a group near where you are located that you could spend time with?
If not, there are places on the internet, such as Stack Overflow, to ask for programming help.
That would be my recommendation. Find a community. Or, a person.
Thanks for this suggestions; I have a number of brilliant programming friends. Its about time I upskilled my programming ability.
I am trying to very delicately ask help at the right times to various people without asking for too much from any one person.
One of the problems I am having is that a task that might take me 5 hours could be done by someone with the skills in under 30 minutes. If I were to achieve the creation (of the app) at the cost of all else; It would be fastest to ask one of my skilled friends to do it for me. But then I don't gain any skills, and pretty soon my friends get sick of me asking favours.
