#183434 - Free Lunch - Not!!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
This forum is not like a restaurant where you could go in and expect to get a free lunch. The restaurant owner would have you washing dishes and cleaning the restrooms to work off the bill for the food you ate and refused to pay for.

You would get a lot farther along toward your goal to take on some initiative to read the data sheets carefully and start to code up your own solution. Then if you have some problems getting your food recipe to work out just right bring it here for the experienced chefs to take a look at what you've done. They can then offer advice as to just what spices to add or ingredients to change to make a dish something worth paying for.

I do need to say that if you go back and take a serious read of the posting you made you'll be able to see that it gives some impressions that you may very well not like to be compared to. The things I think of are...

- Lazy. Lack of initiative to roll up the sleeves and get to work.

- Cut & Paste. Throwing together shoddy code by snatching pieces from here and there without really comprehending how it works.

- Wrong Field. Just having a hard time getting into and understanding data sheets and organizing thoughts into a program flow. Not all folks are meant to be programmers and should be taking up alternate pursuits.
