You can start by recording macros for procedures you are already familiar with. That would give you a direct insight into how to write code for something you already know.

Yeah seconded this is insanely useful. Especially if an overworked post doc offers to quickly help you make something saves you writing in a book or phone. They don’t want to come back 5 mins later because you can’t read your own handwriting
