Thanks a lot for the sympathy! I will definitely find and check out the course on Udacity, sounds like it would be a good introduction.

As to coming up with projects, I come up with a lot of different projects, usually projects that would give me the tools that I need and I can't find. It's just that I always feel like I will be easily overwhelmed but I guess I should just jump in and get over with it.

And you're right, I should definitely learn how to use git, I have been postponing it but I'll make sure that I follow the courses on CodeSchool as soon as possible.

Thanks again for the help :)
