My experience with asking for help with programming goes back to my first computer Apple // 40 columns
So this was before you could use the internet to ask questions.
My only educational experience with programming was an elective in pharmacy school called basic programming.
This was on DEC Writer NO Screen.
While living in Dayton, Ohio I was lucky we had a computer club Apple Dayton at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
Once a month members would publish a floppy disk with tip & tricks and a complete program now and then.
At the monthly meeting you could interact with like minded people face to face.
Also at this time computer magazines had some quality code published as an article.
Fast forward to the invention of interacting on the internet where in place of face to face dialog the responder to a question can go out of their way to chastise the person with less knowledge.
What has been expressed by Bill Woodruff and others is that Code Project is a Club.
If you do not want to HELP don't engage with the question. OR point the person to a suitable Article.

For me as a Novice programmer I am always thankful when I get an answer on Code Project.
When I first joined it was to get an answer to a question.
I realized after a while that the people here were highly educated in not only programming but in many other disciplines.
The Lounge has been a wonderful place for polite interaction kind of like Apple Dayton Club.

My pie in the sky thought it would be nice to see a bi-monthly article on how to do various code procedures

I would love to contribute with an article from a Novice point of view about the complete construction of a project but I need a little help understanding how to use the interface on Code Project.
