Creating an executable program for dummies

Hi all, forgive me for this question may sound monumentally stupid to some of you.

Over the ~18 months that I've been learning and practicing writing code, I've continuously run into an issue regarding the seeming lack of information on actually creating a program. It seems like there are plenty of resources on how to write code, but I've never seen anything that shows me how to get the code I've made and create an application which can be clicked on and executed. Where do I learn said thing?
