Omer,
the best is, to look at existing LuCI applications code and read though available documentation, and start with "try and error".
I'm personally coming from the Windows world of IT side and never be a programmer. It takes me about 6 month on nearby every free minute to analyze existing code for luci-app-ddns and rewrite it. A lot of Google searches and again code analysis. And much. much more try and error.
So it's your choice were to start.
Good luck.
