newbie coding

Posted by Angelo Bertolli on 2001-04-24

I think the best way to start out is to first have an idea of what you want 
to change.  You can go in and look at code if you want, but I think you'd 
learn more and be much more successful saying, "I want to change X" 
specifically, then going to find X and see what you can do with it.
