A86: Re: Programming Questions....
The key to learning anything is persistance, patience, willpower, and
mountain dew. Try it in whatever order necessary. Repeat as necessary.
You have numerous resources to get started. Yet you appeal to human help.
Print out everything that applies to the problem at hand. guide.ticalc.org
is essential, and he has my ti-86 tutorials assimilated also.. Read and take
notes. Learn the concepts. Use the techniques you learned in school because
osmosis only helps for the select few and lucky. There are no teachers when
you endeavour on your own path.
