No.
There's a lot, A LOT of resources online for beginners.
let the nerds run SO, it's perfect as it is for people who know what they are doing.
- kylehotchkiss 10y agoMaybe SO could better integrate this type of thing with results. Example: "Your question is simple but I know this great starter guide or Book on Amazon that can help you find your way".
- colejohnson66 10y agoYet SO is filled with people asking "how to homework" or want something they can copy/paste into their program. I've seriously seen an OP ask why the answer's code didn't work because it used variable names not present in the OP's code. Yet there was no way to know what the original variables were called because the OP didn't provide any code.
