What is this program asking for

[Joeman]

I am self-taught. So when you say the teacher isn't teaching you, go ahead and learn by yourself. There are many useful tutorials, examples, articles, documents, references, books, faqs and free code that you can learn from by yourself without an instructor holding your hand. The best way to learn is to keep it fun, but highly technical.
