I would like to suggest you to have a basic overview of the Gnome
Platform:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/platform-overview/stable/


Simply use the python bindings of the library if require. (C is a small
language easy to learn!). Shell script will make your life easy.

Download source of the screenshot utility.
Depending on the method, how do you want to upload your photo in remote
server, you have to check different tool.


Split the project in small small task, its easy.
