As far as the soldering gos, find a mentor. As with many skills, most are difficult to learn just from reading and/or trying on your own. Soldering is best learned by someone taking you through it step by step, and explaining the whys and wherefores as they go. One source of instruction is an electronics repair shop. That's where I learned. Many small electronics repairmen will be glad to take a few minutes to show you how if you approach them right. Know a plumber? They use solder all the time. Any electrician knows how. I'm sure someone you know ,or is in your family, can show you. <br />Don't be afraid make mistakes. Learning is the process of making mistakes. There is an old saying, "The only difference between and amatuer, and an expert, is, the expert has already made the mistakes." Make the mistakes, and you can be an expert, too!
