I know that this is probably reiterating a rule stated elsewhere, but apparently it bears repeating. If you want to get started on a program, but have no clue how to get started, then you can search for programs that provide/use some of the functions you will need to write/use.
For instance, if you want to figure out how to do wireless remote control turtles, then try searching for "wireless remote control turtles". For best results, you can focus on the Turtle Programs forum. See if you find an existing program, and see if it works. Then, if you need help making it do something it doesn't already do, ask. If the person that wrote the code you're modifying isn't available, then you can ask a pro. But try asking the person who wrote the original code first.
Just in case you don't know, the search bar is at the upper right of the screen, right under your login name. By default it says "Search…" in the bar. You can type in any terms that are longer than four characters (like "wireless", and "remote", and "control", and "turtles").
