Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

If you are starting to program start with python

I came here to say this.

If you don't know what you want or why, start with Python.

Python is a full featured language with a helpful community, loads of great libraries, and is used in anything from automation scripts to games to data modelling & crunching as well as apps.

One of the best things about Python is how helpful and applicable the online documentation and community culture are.
