Hey everybody!

We all know programming ain't exactly easy work and can be just downright confusing if you have no idea what you're looking for or where to even begin. I have been trying to pay my dues and familiarize myself with the basics as much as possible and become the best darned programmer I can possibly be. In my quest to do so, I have come across a few sites that helped me ALOT I think could be of great help to newer users, as well as a few notes about coding/ programming practices and decided to post them here in the forums so that we can all benefit from them! Enjoy

No prob! I am just glad to help contribute to the GE community really and also to start to give back a bit of the help I've been given by other members to others who need help getting started and whatnot.
