[Wine] How should I educate myself in order to code for WineHQ?

[jingo811]

I consider myself not having any real programming experience.
I've went through 5 weeks long basic courses for each of these scripting languages.  So no real programming experience to fall back on and I basically can't do anything useful with any of these languages anyways.

Matlab
PHP+MySQL
bash

But I want to learn just enough to be useful for the Wine project.  And thus enable me to see how things are run behind the scenes.  Working as a Code Monkey under a Code Manager who can tell me what to focus on and what I can ignore for now.  Since I'm a slow learner it would take me 30 years to go through every one of these links, organize the info and understand how to use them correctly

So I was wondering can you give me an ordered to-do-list in becoming a Code Monkey for WineHQ?

	Like do I have to know both C and C++ to code for Wine.

	What books with easy exercises is best for total newbies learning to programming in the WineHQ language?

	Do I have to go through every resource link to be able to code for Wine?

	What sort of stuff in C or C++ should I play with in order to learn the relevant stuff for Wine coding at the basic programmer level?

	Is there any HowTo books in Coding for Wine, that would sort of help?



Give me a list of that nature so I can focus on learning the relevant stuff just for some easy Monkey Coding.  Then I can see how you guys work from a more practical viewpoint.
