StackOverflow

If you’ve ever Googled for help with a programming problem then you’ve probably come across StackOverflow.com. If you haven’t it’s a site where you can ask questions of other developers and receive help on an incredibly wide variety of topics. There’s over 30,000 different subject tags and very knowledgeable people answering. Questions, comments, and answers can all be voted on and from what I’ve seen the votes do reflect quality and accuracy.
I’d been aware of the site for several years and had often read threads on it when trying to resolve an issue, but it’s only recently that I’ve been registered. I started answering questions and this week I’m in the top 2% for reputation gains! (find me here: http://stackoverflow.com/users/1138252/ilion ) While that is fun to crow about it’s also been really great to help others out. It’s also really interesting to see how others approach problems and just how they are using various tools. I highly recommend getting involved!
