in reply to How I stopped worrying (and learned to love the downvote)
i'm very new - so new it makes me wince. i spend a lot of time looking for answers before posting here. i try not to do it until i really feel like i have nowhere else to look, or i just can't get the concept. people are so generous with help. so to make sure i'm not being lazy when i ask, i have to pay in situps before i can post. the dumber i am, the flatter my stomach will be. i appreciate this resource very much and don't want to abuse it, but i also realize that one of these days i'll be able to help someone else, so i don't feel so bad.

With the risk of this becomming an "whip em out and measure who got the smallest." (code that is)
I can, with a lot of backing, say that Im the newbiest of all of you. Being a newbie ofcourse means that I still fear the downvote like the nodereaper himself. Im so new that I dont even own "Programming Perl", only "Learning Perl" 2ed. That book is by the way pure entertainment to read, just the foreword by Larry Wall is priceless. And it just gets better after that.
This being my first writeup and all I must say that I think that Perlmonks seems to be one of the best communities when it comes to looking after newbies. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
