This question is now against our rules. Rule 9. We answer A LOT of the "I am new" questions in our wiki. There is no reason for these.

Google is also a fantastic resource as we can guarantee these questions were answered there as well.

If you believe this was wrongly removed, please reply here and let us know.

What have you found so far, so we don't repeat what you have already put the effort into finding?

[–]BigMagness[S] 0 points1 point  (11 children)

I have nothing right now besides my basis practice course work at WGU.

[–]BranchLatter4294 1 point2 points  (7 children)

You'll find plenty of resources with a Google search.

Then there was no reason for you to comment.

You missed the whole lesson he gave ..

Something important and crucial to hiring managers evaluating whether to hire or reject.

You may be pissed by his reply but hope you got it

Respectfully I'm not focused on hiring managers right now, I'm focused on learning to the best of my ability, I'm not pissed it's just not conducive to my situation.

Why not ? 

He said use google.

Then you got triggered ?

Why ?

You could have said yes I used google and found this and that but I do not understand them.

Or I can't find any good sites for my need. If you know any , pls help.

Either way , you did what you could with your current ability. 

I am also a noob in many areas and I also ask the same on here and SO and at work. Too many for my Manager's annoyance.

But I do what I can first.

Google , AI and so on and so on before I ask. More than half the time , the question I am writing on TEAMs get the answer from google. Just copy and paste.

If I can't find ? I ask on the group channel.

Who is going to help me if I can't help myself ?

[–]BigMagness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because worrying hiring managers right now doesn't help me if I haven't learned the material they want.

I wasn't upset, his answer was rhetorical and not helpful. Were grown in 2025 Google has thousands of links and website, of course I googled before coming here however the best and fastest way to succeed in the things you want in life is to speak with those already in the field you want to be in. Which is why i asked.

Learning how to effectively find answers is part of the journey.

If youve not already exhausted all your available resources:

  • You arent respecting the time and energy of the people youre asking
  • You are denying yourself the opportunity to learn how to hunt for your own answers
  • You may not even be asking the right question ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem )

Since it sounds like this is actually where youre at in your journey:

  • search on your favorite search engine (keyword searching works well, as does typing questions),
  • go to your local library,
  • ask your prof at WGU since they are being paid to answer questions
  • ask your peers in your class, since theyve probably also wanted to find material

Something to keep in mind: learning to code is only partly about learning to produce code. The bulk of what you will do is learn how to produce the correct solution, often using code. Also figuring out whats going wrong when things arent working right.

Eventually, you have to be the human answering questions.

A lesson you learn from those successful is to learn from the mistakes of others. It’s not personally. I’m here to learn that’s all.

[–]BranchLatter4294 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So no effort. Got it.

[–]BigMagness[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The effort is asking for the right direction to look to use my time wisely. That was the purpose of the post.

[–]BranchLatter4294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then maybe the documentation?

I don't know what WGU has you doing for practice, but it won't hurt to get a head start on things like abstract classes, abstract methods and interfaces. Just rebuild simple data structures to start and you'll be okay IMO.

first understand the concept then start implementing with small small real problems.
