Help Side Scrolling

I've been programmming for about 3 months now, and i want
to make a 2D side scroller. I have no idea how to!
Please! some one help!!!!!!!

If 3 months is all your experience on programming then rest assured that making a sidescroller requires more experience than that. :P

I have a poor example of a side scroller on my programming tutorial. It'll give you some ideas, at the least.
