Look at the "tips and tricks" page. Download his full program library.
Skim through it, plus the "tips" page, every once in a while. As you
learn IDL, each time you'll understand more and find another useful
helper program. Other IDL websites with tips and more program libraries
are linked from David's.
Go to the help directory of your IDL installation, open each of the PDF
files and skim the table of contents. And remember, the first place to
look at is the help index. Type in a few keywords which are related to
your problem.
If you ask questions on this newsgroup, people are happy to help if they
see you showed some effort to read the available documentation and if
the problem is described well. Remember, they all do it voluntarily in
their free time!
