The way I learnt was to throw myself in at the deep end...

Instead of trying to learn how to write code, modify your board, and while you are doing it try and figure out what the code is doing... Then when you come to write something, start small... Use simple functions, and don't be afraid to ask questions...

You'll find that after a few attempts to get it right, maybe with some help, you'll get it, and thats half the battle; Once you've done one or two things by yourself, you'll find you will be able to create almost any modification you want, and theres always vB.org members and coders here to answer your questions...
