I still consider myself new with Wolfram programming, I've been teaching myself wolfram for about six months now and I've got a few programs to do stuff when I hit shift enter. Now I've been tasked to make a program that basically monitors a variable and run a command when the threshold is passed i.e. when water level rises past 10inches count one instance and record it (the water level varies inconsistently). I found dynamic and do and if and else and while, but I can't seem to wrap my head around the procedural programming from the documentation itself. I can get a dynamic monitor function. The problem with while is that it stops evaluating after the condition has been met & the wording in the Loops and Control Structures documentation is tooooo confusing for my brain.

Is there a good tutorial video I can watch or is there someone out there that I could connect with to get this programming language into my brain? Or something simpler I could grasp, or a page with different wording? or anything helpful that you guys know of?

Long story short I want my program to monitor a condition, and run the "count" function once when the condition is satisfied. I feel like running the monitor function dynamically is a good start, but I don't know how to 'knock down the rest of the dominoes' one time, when the dynamic condition turns true.

Thanks in advance ladies and gentlemen.
