Yes, there is an unlimited source of free pre-written code that you can use and modify. You need to understand the fundamentals to use it.

So you download the code from the Internet, up-load it to your Arduino, and compile it (That's in the book) and it should compile without errors. Then make some modification (tiny ones at first) and compile again. If you get an error, find out what the error is, and fix it. Step by step you will begin to understand.

It has to be said that Arduino has a very weak de-bugging ability, but it's better than none.

But this is a great way to learn.
