Not Telling
while (true)
{
irValue = irSensor.Read();
irValue = irValue / 5;
if (irValue > 100)
irValue = 100;
pwm.SetDutyCycle((uint)irValue);
}
I also added a safeguard so that the value doesn't get bigger than 100 (100 is full-on for pwm).

Also not a book, but for me, when I started with electronics, a simulator like LTSpice has been invaluable - you can try stuff without frying things 
i.e. test if your transistor switch works and how much current is drawn from the microcontroller etc. But that's just in addition to a book, it obviously does not teach you physics

You weren't too slow, your post has more helpful information than mine and your suggestion about not driving optocouplers/LEDs directly is certainly right.
