Meh, no one here wants to here my spoiled brat opinion, so I apologize in advance: It should also be included in the bare minimum: Regex will drive you crazy. Not just writing the expression, but installing a library (especially if there is

I do a lot of coding. Hours and Hours a day. A lot of that coding is for other people. I like coding, but there is something else I like. I like when people receive my code, take a look at it, and say "Wow. Erm. Thanks." I like being apprec
