What to do when you are stuck

We've all been there. You're in the Codecademy learning environment or in your local IDE, and you see a red error that doesn't allow your program to run properly. You can't quite figure what the problem is, and it's frustrating! In this video, Farish shows us some strategies to get through these tough times when you're stuck!

    If everything fails... Basically know where to get actual support. At least some couple of reliable sources. Because at many points you won't be able to fix it all by yourself. It's ok to get help, and always learn from it.

    These are all solid ideas for getting unstuck. I also consult Genny, she is my "generic" Rubber Duck I ordered from Amazon. She's so understanding and always a good listener and she never laughs at me. :)

    I can't even do an easy code challenge without someone else literally doing it all for me, I have to choose between doing it myself and failing or going for help and have someone else succeed "for me"

    This is good when you are still in the basics. But once you get stuck in intermediate level you are pretty much doomed as the resources are scarce in the intermediate level.

    Thank you for the information. I'm making it a habit to check out the links that have been provided throughout the learning exercises in codecademy just to see what other information I might stumble across. So far, I've been enjoying myself. I never really thought of myself as any kind of computer-literate personality. Usually, I say that computers hate me, but what I have learned so far has made sense. I think that is primarily because of the easy and well thought out learning paths orchestrated by the developers and instructors, so thank you for putting this all together for those of us who have the curiosity and drive to learn new things.

    The first thing I do when someone comes to me is to read the error out loud with them slowly. Often, they immediately understand what went wrong when they take the time to fully absorb what it is the computer is telling them. :] If that doesn't work, I walk through helping them figure out the conditions that need to occur for the error to crop up. Often, this can involve searching through vendor/dependency code for the error's words. But the fundamental idea is that understanding the problem means understanding the solution. This is true not just for coding but also for marketing, innovation, and all other industries. Problem framing is one of the greatest skills you can teach yourself, no matter what you choose to do. :]

Though I started with the codeacademy's first session, I need a few insights on how a non-tech background guy like me should start. Since I'm bit bewildered with lots of information online, I need a few suggestions on what to do after what
