If you asked your calculus teacher how to do a basic algebra problem
would
his response sound arrogant? Would he just do it for you or send you
someplace for you to get touch ups.( Or your algebra teacher how to do
subtraction...
if you want a closer analogy.)
To put a double emphasis on it. the thing done in maybe an hour could
have
been done far faster if you had the basic pre-requisites to use the
API...
and there are very few people on the group inclined to teach basic
javascript...
(though every once in a while you will catch people in wierd moods)
I can build a basic array in a dozen languages and can look up
how to do it in ones I dont know in far less than an hour.
And after I do so I have learned something and I am better
at what I do.
The 40 dollars might have been a reasonable price because
it saved you from doing something you clearly didnt want to
do... ie learn.
