Then you ask questions, try to figure things out. You don't just give up, going "THIS JOB IS TOO HARD". You buckle down and work at it, or you ask for help. Giving up gets you a guaranteed ticket to nowhere. Illumination does't generally come out of the sky and enlighten you on the subject of what, exactly, an I-frame is (the nature of God may or may not be a different story, but that's not my field).
On the subject of cost: where I am, I can rent a DVD for $1.50 a day. Pocket change, literally. Or, I can hit my local library, and get both DVDs and CDs for free. That's right,
free. Failing that, I can borrow from my friends (some of whom have extensive libraries). Then, I can use software that can either be purchased cheaply (my program of choice cost me $20, and it's all legal), or had legally for free (
read).
Get a library card. They're great. Oh, and ask a few questions. They're great too, as long as you remember how to ask smart questions and be polite about it.
