Ahh yes. Let's berate the OP for being intimidated by a topic and then diving in and learning it on their own. This will really encourage others to learn on their own and contribute back.

Well, whether we like it or not, self-taught programmers are held to a higher standard. It doesn't help us to further the stereotype that self-taught programmers are afraid of the basics, haven't attained a general education in computer science on their own, or are less reliable than their peers who have degrees.

Not trying to berate the OP. I'm trying to say I wish OP had framed it better.
