So, you're coding along, happy as a clam, working on a script you just know will work almost perfectly the first time, and then it hits you - you don't know how to continue. You want to add a new feature to your script, but just don't know how. It's not that you can't code it, it's that you just don't know how to do it. Maybe it's a new kind of database connection, or maybe a complex computation that you never learned back in school. Either way, there's only one way to continue - you have to learn how.

This brings me to the purpose - how do you learn? When you're working on a script that requires you to do something you've never done before, what resources do you turn to to find out the answers? Are books your weapon of choice, or do you look to your peers to see what they might know on the subject first?

Different people learn different ways, and I know there's no "one right way" to get the job done, but I was just wondering what the most popular path might be....
