Developing software and handicapping horses are two completely distinct things!
If you really want to learn how to program, my advice to you will be to not try to immediately apply it to handicapping and forget about getting any immediate benefit from it.
Programming is an extremely sophisticated craft, which requires years of dedicated study and professional exposure to be mastered. If you do not have the dedication, time and money to spend and (some) talent, my advice to you will be to just stay clear. If you really are serious about it, your best bet might be to attend college getting a CS degree (of course programming and CS are not exactly the same but it still is as close they get).. Hint: If you find the MIT course I posted above, difficult to follow, you probably need to forget about it and try something different...
