If you are a budding developer, there are a few different ways to seek help from your peers. Whether you send an email off to your hero developer or jump into a chat room, it's not just what you ask, but how you ask the question that can make all the difference. Mike Ash, a programmer for Rogue Amoeba (purveyors of Airfoil, Audio Hijack and Nicecast), has written a 10-point article of sorts offering advice on how to ask your coding questio so you can get the right a wers. While I am in no way a code ninja of any sorts, I can see that many of Mike's points center on bringing clarity to the questio you ask so those taking time to help you understand the question, i tead of having to end most of their time trying to glean the proper question out of you.Mike's Getting A wers should be an i ightful read for any developers who are (or perha : should be) seeking help on how to get help with their projects.
