[support] How to become a master module builder

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

Hi,

I'm rather new to Drupal but not LAMP. I'm trying to learn how to create 
a module so I followed https://drupal.org/developing/modules/7 ... I 
learnd a lot, however I do not fully understand what I need to do to add 
a check box to the article pages, save it's settings....etc. I think I 
might be able to muddle through making a block since that is what the 
tutorial was about. Any suggestions on how to go from confused to master 
module maker?

Thank you for your feedback!!
