New Pinned Topic (Idea)

Posted 08 February 2011 - 11:34 AM

Hello All,
So i want to learn new Web language and when i went to the section of the language i couldn't find beginners topic, I was thinking why don't every language section have a pinned topic for beginners , that way it would be easy for people who want to learn something new .

Okay... then riddle me this - what would be the standard template for a "beginners pinned topic"? What's content would be best in there?

As i said every Language will have a pinned topic that contains lessons from the very basics followed by advanced lessons, every lesson should be named and numbered so it would be easier to find .People could leave feedback on every lesson and ask questions just like any other topics on this forum . I know its not a strong idea but you know it might work .

thanks

That's exactly why we have the tutorials section, and links to them in their respective forums on the right side. Generally, most people are able to find it. :)

I think he is suggesting an ordering of tutorials for beginners to progress through. Structuring the tutorials doesn't sound like a bad idea or something I've seen really done on here; I think the suggester and the repliers aren't really talking about the same thing yet.

Restructuring the contributions sections is being looked at currently. I'm not sure we need a pinned in each forum to aggregate each tutorial by skill level. We certainly have resource threads based on interests in specific forums (ie., Game Programming and Data Structures in the Java forum).
