How to get started or am I mad ?

Hi all,
I should caveat this post by saying that I don't really have a clue what I am doing.
What I would like to do is create a LCB library to wrap the commands that Apple provides in its EventKit framework to expose these functions to Livecode Script
Yesterday I completed the "hello world" tutorial for LCB and then I started googling, searching the dictionary etc. I may have missed a lot of information but as someone new to LCB it seems that there is not much in the way of what I will call intermediate level teaching. So my first question is what other teaching material would you recommend ? For instance is there any thing that extends on the great information in this post : viewtopic.php?f=93&t=30429 . Is there anything of similar detail about wrapping commands from a framework?
I have tried reading the dictionary but I find that the entries rely on background knowledge of "C" and other low level programming terms and techniques that I don't understand (yet).
One last thing that concerns me is that Apple state that any application that accesses the Calendar data using EventKit should ask permission to do so first. Does anyone how complex this is to implement?
