How do I think like a programmer?

I'm a network engineer who has dabbled in Python for some automation, PHP for random fixes on the many php sites I throw on my LAMP, bash for, well, various systems stuffs.

I recently got into Corona SDK and Lua and am just trying to release a project. My biggest frustration comes from not the syntax or IDE, but figuring out how and where to write and call functions. I feel like my brain doesnt think like a programmer, so I am constantly hitting a wall and starting over.

Any advice?
