I think that&#x27;s where the need for balance comes in. Lead them to how to find the answer, and provide guidance on how to interpret it...but if they want to be spoon-fed, tell them to go somewhere else.<p>I start out by showing them how to describe their problem in a way that&#x27;s easily understood by a more experienced programmer. Next would be to tell them some search terms likely to answer their question. If they&#x27;re still stuck, ask which part is the most confusing and work through that a bit at a time.<p>Of course...this all can get very frustrating. After answering the same questions a dozen times, I often let someone else answer.
