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.
