Pedro, relax. We all started out where you are now. Yes, you should learn the technical terms to follow discussions but that will come with time and experience. Right now concentrate on the basics. You can cookbook the heat treatment; later you can study the science behind it-if you find it necessary. It will help you understand what may have gone wrong when things don't go as planned. Simple steels, like the 1084, are probably the best right now as they are, with the possible exception or 1095, most forgiving when it comes to heat treatment.
