Sounds like a good summer to me. Make sure to bug the grad students there for help. I think the point about thinking through a programming problem is a key point. You really just need to think through the logic and flow of a computer program when you write it. When I write a new code I start by making a thorough description of what I want it to do it comments near the top. I then write comments for each section describing the flow of the program step-by-step. Then I just fill in with actual code. The last part is the hardest, but once you have a plan of action, it really isn't too difficult.
