Iterative Teaching

There are all kinds of code that is readily available over the internet. All you have to do is search for it. But a common problem that I have (especially while trying to learn Java), is that a lot of code is pretty much snippets. I don't know about anyone else, but I cannot use snippets of code, and it is hard to understand unless I can see the whole code. After all, a lot of us are beginners, when it comes to learning new programs, and we don't know how to import packages, and libraries, especially if we can't see the whole code.

But there is help. I would suggest doing a search for classes that are offered in learning the syntax of a language, or some programming course for beginners. Even If I know how to do something, I'm sure the instructor will get to a part that I have had difficulty with before.

Also, If you teach from the beginning, that means that nobody is left behind. So just like there is iterative programming, there should be iterative teaching.
