There is no hidden secret or trick to writing successful code from scratch. It is all hard work and research. You don't learn how to build a house by walking up to a construction crew, saying "Hey, I'm building a house too!" and asking them how to hold a hammer while they're working, and you don't own a hammer.
I wish I could have put it like that instead of waffling.... 
Thanks for your understanding friend.
