The beauty of starting any arbitrary project. It will SHOW you what you don't know.

Some people love this phase of learning the best because it can be the most exciting part ("I hadn't even heard of topic X this morning but now I know enough to be dangerous"), and some just accept this as the slog that's required to get you up to speed enough to build useful things which is the part they enjoy the most. (I'm the latter.) But either way, that's how all of us start.
