Thanks! I apologize for using this list as a form of therapy (venting over the
frustrations of not getting an answer right). :-)
You're right! This IS an awesome resource!! I'll be more specific next time.

Glad you figured it out.
For future reference try and post an example of something you are
having
trouble with.
Being vague likes this makes it impossible to help you.
This list is an awesome resource.
Have a problem and 9 out of 10 times you not only have a solution but
you have an understandable explanation.
It's like the borg collective ;)

Mostly the exercises for the chapters on Arrays and Hashes. Hashes
killed me! I didn't get any right! It's getting better because I've
re-read the chapter and studied my notes again and I actually feel
better about it. Sorry for this post! I guess I was venting or
something. Ah...I feel much better now...

Could I be putting too much stock into the exercises?
That's where I'm
getting frustrated. For example, I'm treating them as
"test" exercises
and when I don't get them correct, I deem the chapter a
failure, which
is silly since there are 2 or 3 questions per chapter.
Maybe I should
treat them as "examples" instead.

Thanks!! :-)
what exactly are you having trouble
with? why don't you
try writing a script
that you think might be useful to you.
that is how you
really learn how it
works
