I don't have any advice that goes beyond what forkthing has given, but I wouldn't worry about the geezer thing. If you stick with it, you can learn it.

If you can get your hands on the code of a basic program that exists, and then goof with it, -that might be a good starting point. I personally learn better from just getting into it than I do from books, etc.

Thanks for the encouragement. Found some good links from forkthing's duckduckgo search. I have enough to get me started. Should be a fun experience.
