I agree with jklivin. The current forums are there for everyone, not just for experienced programmers. The benefit of having the experienced programmers, however, is that they are able to help out where they can.
If you're looking for tips and tutorials then I'd advise looking on the main
HotScripts page under whatever category you are looking to learn something in. There is a section under most of the categories called, "Tips and Tutorials".
