Hey,
I'm brand new to these forums and kinda really new to programming. I was wondering if any higher level programmer was looking to help tutor or teach me some programming techniques and styles.

No offence but this sort of sounds like Dilbert: "Teach me how to be an engineer, I don't care if it takes all day!".
Nah its not like that at all. Im currently enrolled in computer information science classes. I have a bunch of problems and experience but i mean i just would want to see other ways a better programmer might go about problems per say. In my class our professors dont really always have time to meet one on one so yeahh.Quote:

Now that's just nasty :o ... but I do tend to agree. There is a LOT of really bad code out there.Quote:

I'm working on a project after a long interregnum, so I find myself almost back to beginner level and yep... the first three tries ended up on CDs in a storage closet.
