I'm not a dev or have any real desire to be one right now but I would say with no experience its going to be really hard. Coding is like learning a second language its much easier to have someone teach you and be using it every day then just learning it for 1 or 2 random programs.
Try something like Java for dummies to get you started and you can use Notepad++ for coding, because it will color code everything properly, like variable names and such.
Take it slow, dont try to jump to your idea right away, and build a few small projects. Start at "Hello World!" and work your way up or your going to get overwhelmed.
If your really intrested in programming taking a class would be my best suggestion. It doesn't matter if you plan on using the language or not you need to get into a programmer way of thinking (Way out of the box) and any language will help with the mindset.
