First wallet and transaction question.

Hi, I’m in the process of trying to find a way to improve my computer science skills and therefore employability. Ive got to improve my earning potential a lot. I’m interested in bitcoin, so I thought this would be a good way to go.

It’s been tough going so far. I have my bitcoin-qt running with the blockchain downloaded. I have the daemon finally running despite many early problems. I have a question about where to go from here. I’m not in any hurry to start accidentally spamming the bitcoin network with broken transactions, but I’m just wondering what is the shortest route in bitcoin-cli commands to create a wallet and send a transaction. Would it be:

Createwallet
Createrawtransaction
Signrawtransaction
Sendrawtransaction

I’m sure I’m missing several steps on the above list, just wondering if someone can tell me what they are?

Also, I keep seeing an error when I try to experiment with commands related to “RPC” username and password credentials? Not sure what that is, or what I need to do about it?

I would greatly appreciate any comments or observations!

Thanks in advance.
