If you don't know anything about coding, I would start by doing the javascript course at Codeacademy.com, or download Unity for free and follow along with a few of the tutorials for C# that various users have made or that are available for free on their store. Once you've completed those tutorials, play with your finished product, add stuff, tweak stuff, break things and fix them again, until you get a good enough understanding of what's going on with the code.

While you're doing all that, go read Dave's book, Behavioral Mathematics for Game AI, which you can probably check out from your library if you're too poor (or cheap) to buy it. I would also highly recommend going to IntrinsicalAlgorithm.com which is the website for Dave's AI consulting business. There's a number of really good articles posted on there, everything from editorials like the EQN letter, to links to GDC lectures and papers, to amusing stories about unexpected behaviors that sometimes crop up.

I would also highly recommend doing a google search for The Sims AI and utility-based AI. I don't think Dave's approach to utility-based decision making for NPCs is identical to The Sims, but there's a family resemblance that helps understand the ways that utilities are constructed and used to create lists of possible actions and score them.

And watch those free GDC lectures and read the free GDC papers. You might have to read them multiple times to understand what's going on in some places, but they are quite often pretty well laid out and simply enough explained for a layman who puts in some effort to get it.
