As, I forget if it was Sparkie or Korvacs who initially said this; Or maybe it was even Saint:
You practice bad habits in your code, and then in your releases, you pass these habits on to other coders. As they develop in programming, they retain and sometimes will rely on these habits making programmers who're capable and have efficient and tidy-programming styles have to beat out their old-bad habits.
Don't take this as a personal attack, it's just my two cents that you shouldn't be teaching someone else.

It was me as i recall, speaking in the rather large thread which was one of emme's releases which was full of bad coding or something or other.
And i agree, Emme you are not someone who should be teaching other people how to code, and while you may very well have developed in the past 6 months, you are still building on broken foundations, which will mean that you will still pass on bad practices.
As for self-taught/course-taught, in my experience courses mainly (when it comes to language, programming or otherwise) teach you the basics, and then rules which apply to that language, and then how to expand upon those rules to encompass near enough every aspect of that language. If you are self-taught you do exactly the same, you understand the rules of the language, when things should be used, when things should not be used and you can expand that to every aspect of your program.
I see no difference, except that one costs a hell of a lot more than the other.
