You feel old? I started on a Commodore 64 in Middle School working with Basic. Naturally, that go boring very quickly.

As for the post's, I personally find them enlightening. The learning process is applicable to any topic. Simply because I am not into coding does not mean I cannot learn from your persistence, self-questioning, frustrations, and successes. We all go through the same thing with subject matter, especially when it is new.

Often, the drive to just stick with it is the most important. Do not quit 3 feet before you strike oil.
