[C/C++/Java] Confusing Learning To Program With Using Class Libraries
I really am confused about something I've observed.
Whenever I read a message board like this, there's always a novice programmer asking questions about pointers or data structures or the kind of thing that novice programmers are working through. Invariably somebody says, "Why use your own structure - why not use STL". Somebody else says, "You can download some open source code to solve that problem for you".
Why? Why don't people seem to see that learning to use class libraries is not the primary goal of novice programmers? Do these people actually write software with 100% code reuse?
What's the deal here? Am I crazy...
