Ask HN: What are some communities that self-teaching novices can join?
Often times I am hitting some walls while trying to understand the theories like concurrency models, state machines and stuff. Most of time I am not sure what I need to google to find what I want and don't have a solid question that warrants asking on SO or here. These are the times I feel like discussing these topics with someone knowledgeable would clear things up. So are there any such places where I can do that?
- wingerlang 9y agoVarious IRC or Slack channels for the given topic might be a start.
- tiuPapa 9y agoThat's the problem, I couldn't find something for general discussions. There are Slack channels and IRC for particular languages or software projects, but none for general topics.
- wingerlang 9y agoIsn't there some general named "programming", subreddits like "/r/programming" might also work? They should be general enough that you could ask and maybe be given "try posting on X or Y instead"/
- Lufton 9y ago90% sure this is a silly question. But what's IRC?
- tiuPapa 9y agoInternet Relay Chat.
