I did notice some really basic questions that a tutorial could have answered, in those cases, I would recommend what some members did, point them right to the tutorials. As a community it would be better then a blanket RTFM, in my humble opinion.
I know I could have been part of those "people" seeking help as I am new to the forum, although I am new to CakePHP, I am not new to web coding. I did my due diligence with the manual website, and Google (Bing.. :) Ok I never used Bing, but if I did it would have been the same Google Results). I even posted my code when relevant. Side Note: The two books I have on CakePHP are now dated with support for 1.2 with many of elements of the API changed. Hard to understand a change log when you don't understand the fundamentals. The best teacher was Andrew Perk on youtube.com. - H On Feb 4, 2011, at 12:46 PM, Dave Maharaj wrote: > I do not know if it’s just me, but I have been on the group 2 and a half > years now and when I first joined I got told “how to ask a question” if you > have code show it, errors show it, if you cannot figure something out show > what your code is now, what you have tried. > > Lately the board is full of “I don’t know how show me” and not sure if anyone > has noticed this also but this feeding a stry dog only brings the dog back > for more and more.
