Good morning and welcome to Drupal community, You want to develop a community website, and I think you can do that without building a module at first. However, if you still want to do that, I suggest you get a copy of Pro Drupal Development 6 and Pro Drupal Development 7, depending on the Drupal version. You can and should also read http://api.drupal.org, get acquainted with #drupal and #drupal-support and maybe #drupal-contribute on Freenode. That's all I can say for now.
