Maybe it'd be helpful to forgot about the 'extras' that the programmer has for the time being. Build some of the circuits that you find online on a breadboard and just use the programmer to put the code on the chip. After that, take the chip out and put it in the breadboard with the (relatively) simpler wiring.
