Hi Cameron,
Welcome to the IIS forum, i'm not sure about local help for you but there is so much info on the forum here to help you get going in a more reliable way so it becomes fun to take the scope out rather than a hit and miss affair.
I went through the same sort of thing but the help from here was so helpful. If you can't find what your looking for with a forum search then don't hesitate to ask some questions, you'll get the help you need.
It may not be as good as having someone there beside you to show you the way but it will make you more independent when you sort it out yourself with help from here.
Good luck with it and it's all well worth the effort to sort out.
