That is super funny. I like it, I didnt know there was technical term for it, Rubber Ducking lol.
Things that have helped me in past. 1) example related to CF project that involved java (encryption) stuff. I was ststruggling on this project with my limited java skills but luckily I had few friends who were java programmers who gave inputs. So my rule no 1 is if I dont have anyone, just talk to your IT friends. They might have solved same problem in java, .net, or any platform. Sometimes algorithm/logic matters. 2) Dont debug entire code. Isolate or take problem code to smaller result set i.e. instead of working on issue with 1000 records, reduce result set to perhaps smaller no, 10 and try the code 3) Same as 1, talk to people outside work, friends or anyone you know not just your work colleagues. 4) Email the group lol. I am sure everyone will appreciate it. haha Thanks, <Ajas Mohammed /> http://ajashadi.blogspot.com We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are. No matter what, find a way. Because thats what winners do. You can't improve what you don't measure. Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
