At the beginning of the course, this was one of my problems. My fianceè would give me the specification of the program and that's it.

I've since learned to also follow along using the walkthroughs provided, since they provide answers to the most basic of questions that I would have asked.

I'm glad to see this OP, as my post was initially going to be pointing you towards the support materials, eg.g Caesar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ergRKv3DglI

I would suggest you have a golden opportunity here, tbh. You have identified an area of useful skills which you currently are lacking - and a source of info where to learn. That's good. More importantly than that, your fianceè is currently doing the course and is right at the start! If you sign up to CS50 now (it's free!), you have maybe 4-6 hours of lectures to catch up before you are at Ceasar yourself, and then you can work through this excellent course together!

You will learn lots, some of which may be very useful. As will your fianceè. And you'll both have a much easier and fun time having a partner to discuss the lectures and problem sets, helping each other out here and there, before having to reach out for assistance.
