Probably the most important of these tools is something we should all be well acquainted with, our good friend Google. Or any other search engine you prefer, of course. Often a quick dive into the conglomerated knowledge of the entire world’s populace can do you good when trying to figure out a problem. Even the most obscure of Oracle’s FDMEE error codes or a specific module of a specific programming language have answers strewn about message boards or personal guides some kind soul went out of their way to make. Just recently when I found myself stumbling into a major project around here due to my prior experience and interest in python, and I would say close to 95% of the workarounds I wove into my scripts came from asking Google a question. In short, if you have a problem, just google it.

Lastly, so as not to waste your time with a novel, we have the least exciting of our options, Official Documentation. Most anything you will be working with in a professional setting has a small encyclopedia referencing its inner workings and secrets. Pages of procedure and extensive error code listings. If all else fails, you should be able to turn here.

I hope reading this helps someone out there learn something they did not already know. Also, these are just my opinions of course and not some natural laws of problem solving, everyone works differently and if you solve enough problems you will become a regular Sherlock Holmes in your own way assuredly. Thank you to whoever took the time to read, and as always if you think we can help you in anyway feel free to contact us.
