The internet has been one of the greatest blessings to mankind. Oh thankGOD for the internet. You guys already know how much we learn everyday here on Nairaland, how much opportunities and knowledge the internet can bring to you. Knowledge that would originally take your months and even years to gather or source with just some clicks and shorter time. I taught is wise to share with us here in the house who are in love with the ICT and programming some cool forums where millions of computer experts and begineers like you who together to share programming knowledge and source code, to make programming fun, and to answer all your questions on programming.You can be that expert programming with access to more than 30 million great programmers to answer your questions .

Why Join a Programming Community?

You might be a member of a coding community already, but you just haven’t realized it yet. For example, those who’re learning Python, Java or Ruby (for example), might find that they’re often using sites that have – already – built a community around itself. The absolute best example of this would be Codecademy, and their learning to program platform.

Communities like the ones in our chart provide “room” for asking the right questions, and more often than not, people will be eager to help you, offer advice and different perspectives on how-to tackle your bugs. The key element to these communities is to research your questions before you ask them!

What else?

Up-to-date information and problem solving.
Insightful answers, new perspectives.
Tips and tricks for all-level programmers.
Links to resources, talks and research papers.
Meeting new friends, code buddies, potential partners.

Trying to control all of these things by yourself is near impossible, and truly frustrating. Join a community of programmers, encourage yourself to be a participant and be grateful to people who do take the time to answer your questions. It will go a very long way.

1.STACK OVERFLOW:
It features questions and answers on a wide range of topics in computer programming.[10][11][12]

The website serves as a platform for users to ask and answer questions, and, through membership and active participation, to vote questions and answers up or down and edit questions and answers in a fashion similar to a wiki or Digg.[13] Users of Stack Overflow can earn reputation points and "badges"; for example, a person is awarded 10 reputation points for receiving an "up" vote on an answer given to a question, and can receive badges for their valued contributions,[14] which represents a kind of gamification of the traditional Q&A site or forum. All user-generated content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribute-ShareAlike license.[15]

2[b]. Codeproject[/b]

he slogan implies that the website is built ‘For those who code’, and so it rightfully is. The 10 million members (August, 2013) have created and shared millions of lines of code examples, which are freely accessible through their forum system. Remember, the search function is your best friend.

Unlike many other communities, CodeProject is heavily focused on the software development side, and offers insightful discussion for many popular programming languages like: C, C#, C++, Java, Lisp, animations and graphics, mathematics, alogrithms, etc,. The other notable features is their Articles section, populated by thousands of tutorials and guides on anything you could possibly imagine.

2.Reddit

Reddit Programming

Reddit is one of those websites that has a character, and a very strong community to support that character. It has thousands of active ‘sub-reddits’ that provide people with the ability to – literally – discuss everything, about anything. The site averages 110,000,000 monthly visitors.

programming, learnprogramming, compsci, software, opensource, hackers, dailywtf, startups, joel, cheats, django, kde, vim, hacking, softwaredevelopment, emacs, dotnet, functional, agi, database, codeprojects, types, hacks, unix, hackernews, machinelearning, rails, agile, gnu, code, ajax.

You can begin your journey by subscribing to all of the above sub-reddits, they’re programming related (some more than others) and will have additional sub-reddits listed in their sidebars. Share your own favorites in the comments down below.






3. SitePoint
This forums has always been one of my favorite online communities for programmers and designers. It is quite populated with regular members, and also provides a wide spectrum of categories to choose from. The community runs itself, and content quality is way above acceptable.

Forums is focused on helping beginners and intermediate users to better understand their language of choice, while also providing help in the field of business and marketing. The main site is populated by articles on topics like web development, web design, copywriting, user experience and more.

They’ve also got their own bookstore, which is quite famous for its many resourceful publications. The project has been renamed to Learnable, and you can begin with a 14-day trial. Their quick-start guide to HTML5 has been read by tens of thousands of people. Look out for similar content on their website.



4. Dream in code

I’ve not seen major updates from this community in the past couple of years, and that can mean both good and bad. I’ll stick to the good. DIC is a community that consists of 600,000 members who’ve put together millions of posts, both in the form of questions and answers. The most talked about languages include Java, C++, VB.NET, etc,.

You should make note of their list of most active and insightful members, this list can be found on the About page, and perhaps should encourage you to ask questions and look for answers that seem so difficult at the time. I don’t encourage bombarding of peoples inbox’s, but those names in that list are there for a reason.

Overall, a reasonable quality community to be a part of.



5. LOBSTER
This invite-by-user community is what I called the ‘socially oriented’ communities. You will find plenty of discussion about everything related to programming, engineer and development. Many of the submissions have 20+ comments, which can sometimes be nice for a change.

Content can also be tagged with appropriate keywords, making it easier to subscribe to discussions that you want to engage upon, or share your ideas in. Overall, it is a great community for hackers, and with that in mind – we’ve also come to an end of our list of programming communities.

Sheet! Sheet! What happened to their father, stackoverflow? Op, no provoke me ooo

You obviously dunno what you're talking about.. Stackoverflow beats them all and it's not mentioned. most of the discussions on stackoverflow involves the developers of the systems themselves. I mean if you ask reasonable question about ionicframework for example, the ionic creators are likely going to answer the question themselves.

stackoverflow github

where github dea? Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) nko? well nah pro dea talk.

Sheet! Sheet! What happened to their father, stackoverflow? Op, no provoke me ooo
