Call me crazy, but the option to View Source still exists.
1. Get the Llama and Camel books (ORA). These will clear up meta-issues,
should you run into any.
2. Go to freshmeat and download programs that do the kind of things
you're interested in doing.
3. If you need a function/structure/syntax reference, the online
documentation is available on the Web from about three zillion sites.
4. With this info in hand, write code according to your objectives, even
if you have to pull those objectives out of your as^H^Hsleeve.
