I am new to programming and emacs was the first editor I was introduced to, so it naturally became my favorite. I switched to and am starting to learn Linux and in the class we use vim. I don't type well so I don't have the proper form that

I could have used you as my professor in my recent data structures class. I imagine you have myriad responsibilities in the course of your day and I am grateful for the time you are affording me. I will work on this tonight.

Don't know it well enough to code it from scratch at work. Have an idea. Will post something by tonight. Just finished a Data Structures class and still wrapping my head around Trees and hashing. Thank you, kindly.

Why did I choose programming? Vin: It's like this fellow I knew in El Paso. One day, he just took all his clothes off and jumped in a mess of cactus. I asked him the same question, "Why?" Calver: And? Vin: He said, "It seemed like a good i

I will look into the Python. The coding in C++ is not a problem. I do the puzzles on ProjectEueler and the exercises in the textbooks but I don't see how they apply to real world development. I understand the need to practice code and take
