The other thing that is very important is having an idea of what you are trying to build and how it needs to work.
I believe the original plan was to scan books, look them up via Amazon Web Services and then update your local database. In that scenario you'll need to focus on these individual steps to get each one working independently of the others and then connect them all together once you have them each working.
I think a lot of people have trouble with this decomposition of the problem into sets of tasks, where tasks are often "get this info, use it to produce that info" and chained together.
That can be a far greater threat to success than ignorance.
As for depression, this isn't AppleScript-Therapy, but to folks like me who don't buy the Big Guy in the Sky theory, depression is the equivalent of the devil. You have to fight it or give in. There's no middle ground. Much like programming though, you need to decide on your goal and what steps you want to take toward it.
Then you need to get walking. ;)
