What to study to create a program?

Question

IT education

Good afternoon!

I have a very indirect knowledge of creating programs, I often act as a customer, I myself know only basic things, conditional “ctrl-c - ctrl-v programming”.

Using mindmaps lately, I had an idea how I would like to complement such a service for myself, it became clear what features I personally lack. First, in my case, some kind of bubble should come to mind, probably, but it obviously won’t suit me. Plus there is a lot of free time and desire to learn something new.

To the question - what to take up and what to start studying in order to put your own rather simple idea into practice and create an instrument for yourself? I'm not going to write a program in two weeks or even two months, I adequately assess my capabilities. It doesn’t matter at all whether it will be a web application, a program on a computer or a phone. Of course, I would like to see at least some result in a few months, just so as not to lose interest and not be disappointed in myself, but, again, I will be grateful to hear any opinion.

Thanks to all!

UPD:

I use Xmind on poppy - I like everything, but I want to add scheduler functions to the same one. Some topics require a response during the day / week - like in the task scheduler, only everything is visually on the map.

Answer 1

The fact is that you simply do not represent the complexity of the task that you think to master in between times.
To make such tools, you still need to be a programmer.
Not just "study", but gain real experience, spend years of your life on it.
Programming as a hobby will not allow you to create anything like this.
There is an open source FreeMind project (albeit abandoned, but several derivatives have been created on its basis).
You can just look at its sources - https://sourceforge.net/projects/freemind/files/fr... - and estimate their size.

Answer 2

Perhaps, but not a fact, it will be easier to start on swift for a poppy. Windows solutions are dismissed as this is not your OS. There is a chance to think in the direction of the web, but there will be a lot of things from all sides

Answer 3

It seems to me that js or java should be suitable for software with gui, js has electron, and java has swing.

Of course, I would like to see at least some result in a few months, just so as not to lose interest and not be disappointed in myself,

With such a campaign, you can sit in a puddle. Immediately get ready for the fact that the path to a ready-made solution can take years. I used XMind a few years ago (and eventually came to the conclusion that all the benefits from it are imaginary), and so - this is a very heavy software, I can’t even imagine how much code there is - writing this alone, even with experience, is very long.
