How to make awesome software?
The idea(s) aside, how does a lone programmer with a few languages at his disposal make awesome software?
Do you think with proper research, planning, and design a lone programmer can make awesome software, or do you think it will usually require a couple of partners?
How do I learn more about the research, planning, and design of software engineering? Programming is a skill that is (somewhat) easily obtained, but how many resources are there from which to learn the necessary skills to create awesome software?

Depends on what YOU consider "awsome". Awsome software such as Microsoft Word or Paint, is written by a team of programmers, analysts and graphics designers. And it usually takes years to design, code and test.
Of course you can write your own shareware or freeware programs that do neat little things, but I wouldn't consider them "awsome".

If you want to learn then you should try out yourself read books and tutorials for help but implement yourself you cannot understand others logic easily so better to try it on your own as far as help is concern this website has forums for widely used languages where you can find solutions of your problem but there also no one can give you the whole thing

ROFL it doesn't take a Team Of Programmers to create MS Paint. And it usually takes years to design, code and test.
Maybe at Microsoft.
