I'm not so sure the fish(ing) analogy fits well enough here. Give a person working examples of programming, and they both have something that they can use for that moment (eat the fish), and they have a (working) reference to study and modify to their unique needs (learn to catch fish yourself). If they screw up in their personal attempts, they can still go back to the working reference to try to debug their own (non working) attempt, and teach themselves to 'fish' like the master who gave them the working example. Unlike eating a fish, using a someone elses program (or patch) does not preclude the possibility to use it again and again, and change it when you are ready to learn to program, and return to the first fish if you can't catch your own. The utility of fish once used is gone, programs endure and work again and again. bret --- Stuart Wyatt <stuart@solostring.com> wrote: > > On Thursday, October 10, 2002, at 09:18 AM, Mark Sottilaro wrote: > > > Well, let's agree to disagree.
