That's very well said. Actually, I've noticed that beginners often just don't know how to make use of online resources, which is why they come up with some questions that seem "naive" to veterans.
In fact, there are techniques for "panning for gold" on the web, and this is how I seek help: (Under the premise that after searching MSDN and not finding a satisfactory answer)
1. First, use
http://www.google.com
For example, some time ago I wanted to find source code for a dialog box fade-in and fade-out effect. I used the following keywords in Google:
AnimateWindow example code SDK
Make sure to enter all of them. I quickly found a whole bunch that met my requirements.
This method usually solves 50% of the problems.
2. If Google can't solve it (sometimes there are too many results and they're completely useless), then I'll search in the corresponding sections on
http://www.csdn.net
If the problem is common, it can usually be solved here.
3. If CSDN doesn't have what I'm looking for, then I'll go to the following domestic sites to see if there's source code:
http://www.vchelp.net
http://www.vckbase.com
If I'm lucky, there'll be ready-made ones, heh.
4. If I can't find it on domestic websites, I'll go to foreign websites to find source code. The ones I go to most often and strongly recommend are these:
http://www.codeguru.com
There are almost all the VC class source codes I need, especially interface-related class libraries!
http://www.codeproject.com
This is slower, but often yields results.
5. If I still can't find it, I'll go to foreign forums to search. The forums I often go to are:
http://board.win32asmcommunity.net
http://www.codeguru.com/forum
http://board.anticrack.de
Usually the first forum can fully meet my requirements (because it's the famous Iczelion's assembly forum), especially for encryption algorithms, PE... it has everything, cool, heh.
6. If... finally I'll use the trump card and go to newsgroups (newsgroup):
http://www.deja.com
This search engine can find a lot of useful information.
Actually, the difference between old-timers and newbies often lies in whether they know how to use resources. Search engines are a very important tool. Don't think that many old-timers never ask questions and can answer newbies' questions as if they know everything. Actually, they're not that amazing; it's just that they can completely find the answers through their own searches, so they don't need to ask...
