if I want to learn something to help me understand attract mode better what should I be trying to learn coding, programming? I just want to have some basic knowledge to customize my theme a little more.

I started with this guide to give me a basic idea of how things worked: https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Introduction-to-Squirrel-Programming

if there's anything you don't understand, reference this: https://github.com/mickelson/attract/blob/master/Layouts.md

and if you want a more in-depth understanding, take notes on the electric imp documentation: https://developer.electricimp.com/squirrel

(just go down the list)

And you can also refer to the standard Squirrel documentation:
