OK! You've heard from the masters, please listen to the pleas of a novice.

Please don't write my code. Help me with the problems that I'm asking about with an explanation. If the problem is a bit complex, perhaps you could show me an example or give me a link. I'll only learn if I do it myself.

As a novice, I realize that I may be doing something else terribly wrong besides the problem I'm asking about. If I do this, please tell me what those mistakes are and give me some pointers to help me correct them. RTFM is a perfectly acceptable thing to be told, *if* you can point me to the relevant docs.

Don't write my code, but don't stop teaching me either.

Dave
