Everything can be fixed with a little magic. </em></div><br/><hr/><hr/><br/>What do we know about magic and magicians?  Well, most every magician starts as an apprentice. And a true student knows there is always more to learn.<br/><br/>So abracadabra and voila! Steffy's Magic Shop, a space where one can work on tricks.  No worries.  Just do it!<br/><br/>Tricks, not pulling rabbits out of top hats or cutting willing (or unwilling) assistants in half; instead, work on your coding and (hopefully) feedback, suggestions from coding magicians who wander in.<br/><br/>No skill is required to begin. Steffy's Magic Shop is<span class="bbc_u">the</span>place to hone your skills or learn from scratch. A BIG NOTE (a repeat of above): others who are skilled are encouraged to aid aspiring apprentices.  Even answer a ‘how-to’ question.<br/><br/>Now, the big philosophy question: Why magic?  Magicians are performers beyond wonderful.  They work on tricks, show other magicians, and get feedback for yet better tricks. They amaze! Entertain! They wow. That’s what we want.  More wow for evryone.<br/><br/>So how does Steffy's Magic Shop work?<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Magicians</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Check into the thread and see if you can help solve an apprentice's problem.</li><li>Share code you think others might find interesting or useful.</li></ul></td><td>   </td><td><strong>Apprentices</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Ask questions. Describe what you are trying to create through marvelous code.</li><li>Don't give up. Give it a try. Practice makes perfect. </li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table><br/><br/><strong>*A Note From the Shop Owner:</strong>Everyone is welcome to come in and just plain say hey, and chat things up on different topics.  As we sit around, amidst all the tricks, a ‘saw that movie, it sucked’ or ‘loved it’ or ‘I know a trick on how to foam milk’ or ‘have you read this detective series’.  I mean the careful reader did note the sign in the picture right?  Yes, joke is included.<br/><br/>Why have a shop if you can’t enjoy the visitors?  I can’t think of any topic that is not welcome.  I guess I’d say if it was.  My grand plan hope is that we get things rolling with ‘experiments’ and advice and season it with enjoyable conversation.<br/><br/>Always have fun!<br/><br/><br/><div align="center">__________________________________<br/><br/><em><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;">Note:<br/><br/>A very easy way to track down a specific spell or 'how-to' is the stand alone Index which is totally the result of Courtney’s ministrations.  <br/><br/>It can be found here (press on Steffy's Spellbook immediately below):<br/><br/></span></em><strong><span class="bbc_u"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 20pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: verdana;">Steffy's Spellbook</span></span></span></strong> (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=290316.0)<br/><br/><br/></div>
