Thanks. ;) I’m already asking and bothering people with all these “stupid” questions, especially when we are adding something new, but still it just tells me what we are doing, but I still doesn’t how to do it. It’s like selling the best cake in the world – you know it tastes perfect, but you don’t know how to bake it. I want to understand the recipe ;)

Ha! That's an awesome analogy, and I've definitely felt that way as well. I would say just the online courses I took (Udacity, Code Academy, Zed Shaw's Learn Python the Hard Way) gave me the context to understand better, and even chime in on topics. Learning how the pieces fit together helps a lot, even if you can't do much of it yourself. That CS101 course will help a lot. Have fun!
