"Beginner" C# programmer need a guru!

[Mikepoulsen]

Hello Gurus, I'm a "newly" started programmer, and i'm looking for a friend to live chat/talk with when i get in troubles or to do project together with. I have a few ideas i can promise you 1 thing. You wont get bored if you accept >.<.
Please post in this thread if anyone wanna know more or be my soul-mate :i

Reason why i do this is because sometimes i cant get an answer to my problem within 2 hours.

That's really a good thing. For the fastest answers, you'll need to teach yourself how to use google and msdn effectively.

Chatting with someone will only cause you to be dependent on that person or persons and in the end cause you to take longer to get up to speed. Plus what are you going to do if no one is available to chat?

IMO, you'll be better ahead if you try to solve all problems yourself using google and/or msdn. It's going to be hard at first because you won't know how to search effectively, but as a bit of time passes, you'll get good at it and be able to find most answers effectively.

Do you think the folks here answering these questions know all the answers? The answer is some do, but other questions are just looked up in google/msdn before answered. The folks answering the questions do have hands on experience, but they also have more refined search skills and know which search terms to use for a particular subject.

It is not a right place for you to look for a soul-mate my friend! Arjay is right, google answers you everything including the answer from codeguru.com.

I totally agree with Arjay here. I would just add that it would very useful for you to have a look at C# book. Any of the C# in 21 days or 24 hours or you could even go for a more comprehensive C# book. The structured learning it provides will answer a lot of potential questions. You will have ready made, thought through examples that you will be able to understand clearly. And then you come to codeguru and google for the really tricky problems. I would be interested to know what kind of projects you have in mind but I'll pass on the soul-mate offer...

Again, your right Arjay... But you know, it could be fun to make some big projects together. I don't really know what to write, since you were right in your post...
Yeah your properly right, i should use this and google. Thanks for your posts
