Well, I found that resorting to reading help files and Google-ing things can be the fastest way to solve an issue.
I also got some good help from some fine nerds here: MrExcel

StackExchange is also a good resource for all things computer tech-related.

You don't even have to bookmark the site, if you Google your question, more than likely the answer will come up in a StackExchange link.

And most of the times, the question you are asking is something someone else has asked verbatim, and it's as easy as cutting and paste the answer (if it's code-based) into your program.

The downside is that you may not actually retain that knowledge, you just end up going back to StackExchange every time you need that snippet of code again...

"Do you know how to program this thingamabob?"
"Yes I've done it many times before, but I'll need access to the Interweb if I want to be able to do it again."

I class myself as a “black box“ kind of guy on some matters. I don’t care how you get things into the box, I don’t care what goes on inside the box, I just want what comes out of the box.

I used those exact terms once on someone who gave possibly the most boring lecture I’ve ever attended on theoretical computational chemistry. Didn’t go down well.

In the end it achieves the same results so it’s all good.

To me coding is black voodoo magic. Right up there with electrical and investing.

Never click on the 2nd page :| When the answers are in Mandarin, you're pretty much on your own. Recompile, check it in and hope no one notice your **** before you leave the company.
