What are you asking about, exactly?
Have you read the forum FAQs yet? It sounds like you are going through a few of the 'wannabe' items in the FAQ; worrying so much about not being prepared that you never even take the opportunity. It also sounds like you haven't yet learned what the jobs actually entail doing, which are covered in several FAQs.
If you do not have the ability to create and finish programs then stop worrying about it. Instead do something to improve your skills. Most likely that means taking a few classes at a community college or going back to finish a degree in Computer Science.
If you have the ability to write programs then stop worrying about what they want and apply for entry level jobs. They are rarely advertised since there are usually so many direct referrals and so many unsolicited applications.
If you know the languages or tools they are asking for then apply for the job. Statistically the odds are already against you for any particular job --- there are many applicants and just one you --- so you'll need to apply to many jobs and present your best work for every one of them.
