JBuilder 5 Personal tips/web sites
hello experts,
i'm very new to programming (read: i've never done it before), but am very excited and ready to learn. I downloaded the free JBuilder 5 Personal (it was recommended to me by someone in this forum).
anyway, i downloaded it becuase i want to create an application. i've had this idea for a buisness, but it requires me to make a program for it (there's nothing out there even remotely similar to what i need done).
basically what i want to know is this: what are your favorite web sites for downloading source codes for free. i'm hoping to be able to put enough together to get this thing to do what i want it to do!! LOL
i have lots of time on my hands, so i rather do it then hire a programmer (plus i've always wanted to learn programming!!)
so, if you have any good web sites, or any tips for me, all is appreciated!!!
thank you much

hehehe.... you don't know my personality. i would rather try to teach myself then hire someone else... LOL
i once bought a twelve-year old motorcycle that was nothing more then a pile of junk, just to rebuild it... one problem: I didn't know what a carborater was or what it did.... i learned real quick when i had to rebuild it! lol
thanx for the tip anyway, if i get to bogged down and start feeling crazy, i'll be sure to 'call the plumber.'
