It would take ages to teach you enough to make an emulator. The basics are simple , understand how math works , than start from the begining.
Also for emulators , you need to know how to reverse engineer too , and to grab offsets from the client in order to implement them into your emulator , so it can control the client. Which is no easy task.

Making an emulator without any prior programming knowledge is like trying to eat a whole 20 pound turkey. You need to cut up the turkey into edible size pieces, then chew on it so it goes down easy. Same concept with developing software, start from the basics, and work your way up.
If you have no programming experience, you should try learning some high level languages (such as Java or C#). This is my recommendation, and how I started programming (I started with PHP, which is even a higher level language than Java and C#).
The main idea of learning how to develop is NOT learning a programming language. This is something that most people come into development and think is the way forward. What you need to learn, is the basics on ALL programming languages, such as design patterns, data structures, algorithms, logic, arithmetic, and so on. Of course everybody does learn different, so you should not totally take my advice. You can research online and see how others learned. All the resources you need are at the tip of your fingers.
If you want a push towards the right direction for making an emulator for (most) MMORPG games, here's a list of some of the components that you'll need to learn indeph:
- How TCP works. Most MMORPGs build 'packets' that trigger certain events on the server, and on the client (usually labeled incoming packets, and outgoing packets. or serverside-packets, and clientside-packets)
- Authentication / Security. Very crucial, unless you want to learn very big vulnerabilities in your server
- Database utilization (for storing characters, items, and so on). Keep in mind the database design step is very good itself. If not designed properly in the beginning, you'll have trouble working with it and managing data in the future. Make sure you follow CRUD pattern, use indexing, data relations, etc
- Any other game-specific functionality
There's a bunch more, but you'll realize them sooner or later. I would highly suggest designing your database and at least a main idea of how your server will be structured.
