> I have basically no CS knowledge

You could take some computer science classes, then you'd get some CS knowledge.

Or even just watch some of the foundational class lectures available online for free.

If you haven't been through CS in school, watching MIT's CS50 classes will introduce you to a lot of basic concepts and language that you'll find helpful.

Nit. CS50 is Harvard (EdX). 6.001x is MIT's. But I agree. If someone hasn't studied computer science (but does have some programming knowledge), one of those is a good place to start.

Oops. You're right, it's Harvard, not MIT.

And hardly a nitpick. It verges on a fail. Sorry.
