Using the Community

You can’t always successfully google problems when you’re starting out – usually because you don’t know the correct terminology for the issue or solution. Often you might still get a newbie StackOverflow hit, but when there’s not even that, you need a human to help out.

One of the things ZTM do with their courses is to have a Discord based community, then set tasks to encourage it’s use – for example one of the exercises I’ve already had was to go there and answer a question. Earlier ones were to introduce yourself and to find a partner to work with – both of which would have forced anyone not used to Discord to figure it out.

As always when interacting with a community to get help, you need to have done your homework, and to have taken care to supply enough context that someone actually can answer it.
