    Hmm hard to give tips for something open ended, but if you can find things you want to make, make them! Don't give up, but keep your goals in check too...

    Re: difficulty -- there are two real factors: 1) understanding a particular language or system (which comes down to remembering things or knowing how to look them up), and 2) thinking like a computer. The second is the most important skill to learn, because it applies universally! If you can understand what a computer will do in processing a bit of code (in whatever language), then you can do just about anything you can imagine.
