The first question I had about programming I took to a C++ newsgroup
which was "why do I need to compile programs?"
ROFL....
It was simply as question,I asked without doing any research and I think I
got it into C++.moderated some how.(they make money from your posts,watch
out)
I came back in a day when I had a rough Idea of why I had to compile
because nobody had answered and posted a reply of my current conclusions
about this,which was just good enough to get some of the users to say a few
words of which they told me that I should bye a book and others said about
compilers as this thread has done.
Also others said I should do a course etc which all of this just meant to me
that they did not want to help at all with basic information about
programming arch,what,when,how,why,where.
Really dumb questions I guess but important.
Bit like buying a Rotary engine and needing the internals explained for
research purposes so you can drive the engine right.

My second question to a news group was asked about 3 months later when I had
understood why programming works(all learned from internet of course,no
buying books,or courses) the basic layout etc. in learn.c++

I asked "What is the best compiler and platform to program on/with?"

Out of the 20 trolled replies of get a book,go away,bye a compiler,go to
school,read the FAQ,I got one suggestion that M$ VC++ is well documented.

To this day I have never posted in any group asking for help other than not
computer orientated stuff,I have never read a FAQ and never known anyone
that has,but one thing they did teach me that I did not know till 6 months
later was that buying one book is so much help,because it taught me nobody
can teach or help you to program.

I think you need to have big geeky glasses to use these groups or be
designing compilers etc.
