I suggest that you register as a user on Monks. That will allow you to send me or other Monks messages amongst other benefits.

Think about what kind of programming problems that you want to solve. Try to solve one. When you get into trouble, post your current effort here and ask for help.

I'm sure that you will get a lot of help.

Software programming is very much an art. It requires practice and study. Practice involves "learning by doing".

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Your skill will accomplish what the force of many cannot
