This is where Marielle's site will be so useful.  Finding everything
one needs in one spot is the best way I know of assisting newbie coders.
I've come from and IDE where everything (code wise) is openly available.
Sure - some of it is (actually there is a lot) of commercial solutions
too.  To just "get the job done" is possible with twenty minutes of
searching and checking the results.  Searching for many Rev resources
is much harder.
