Hello.
Everyone on this, and every other programming, was in the same position once, and experienced the same problems. Generally, one day something just clicks and it all (ok, maybe not all) begins to make sense. I think I'll call it popping your newbie cherry.
Basically, be polite, willing to learn and ask pertinent, relevant questions. Be prepared to start small and let your understanding grow at it's own rate. Also, don't take shite from people who are too high and mighty to help - we've a few of them on this site, but thankfully they get banned often enough not to make them too much of a pain in the backside.
Oh, and check out the first thread on this forum, it's got a lot of good, simple ideas in it.
Goodbye.
at least i know somebody else had as much trouble as i'm having
