I would wait to start programming with IOTA Smart Contracts. They are only in pre-alpha, feel free to fiddle around with it: (news, github). For a good example of the complexity of something you can do without smart contracts, look at iota access for inspiration. They use policies which look like smart contracts because they are contracts but they are not as decentralized because the policy is on the ledger but ran on a server.
