Have you tried hanging out in the node.js IRC channel? Help is just a step away! The node mailing lists are also pretty helpful.
You can also feel free to email me (email in profile) - I have been working on node for more than a year now on a decent sized project.
- krmmalik 15y agoI tried the IRC channel about a year ago, but at that time i was so new to Node that i felt a little out of place. It seems you had to be at least intermediate level with node to really start chatting to people. You have to remember that i'm new to programming itself as well as Node. That said, i should repay the place a visit. I was always worried about IRC etiquette. What i mean to say is - is it considered poor etiquette to just dive in and start asking for help? Anyway - i think the larger problem for me hasnt been just getting stuck with Node - it's been more about knowing what is the next step to take in terms of the project since im new to development too. That's where having a mentor was very useful. What are your thoughts?
- karterk 15y agoYes, people just drop into the IRC channel and ask questions. The worst thing that can possibly happen is you hear no answer (mostly because no one might be around). The node mailing list is a good place for asking questions too. Often, the more focussed your question is, the better it is. So, instead of asking something vague - ask about specific areas you are facing problems with. Also, when asking a question, explaining what you tried to do to solve the problem yourselves helps people better understand your problem and offer constructive help.
