Let me put it this way: would you hire a chef who doesn't know what salt and sugar taste like? I mean, they look pretty much the same, don't they? But imagine Coca-Cola with salt instead of sugar.

My point is: you'll never be able to write decent code if you don't know the basics. Asking for help on StackOverflow is not good enough.
