The CodingNomads Discord Server is a great place to ask and answer questions - but also to have discussions about code. We believe that talking with others about what you're learning is extremely helpful for understanding, and also remembering!
When you're enrolled in one of CodingNomads' Membership or Mentorship programs, we encourage you to use the Discord forum extensively!
Below is some helpful information for getting the most out of your forum experience.
How to ask a good question
Good questions are more fun to read and answer! Learning how to formulate a great question is a skill that will help you in many real world situations - from getting a helpful answer quickly on StackOverflow, to having a productive chat with your co-workers.
Check out the #readme channel for a post with a ton of information about how to ask a good question.
Code formatting
You will find plenty of opportunities to write or copy-paste code in your forum discussions. After all, we want to communicate and learn about code! To keep that code readable in the forum, you can format it using a quick trick.
To correctly format code expressions, wrap your code with triple backticks!
Hint: Backticks (`) can look like single quotes ('), but they are different! Their location on your keyboard will vary, but in the US, they are often just below the ESC key.
If you forget how, there's a whole post dedicated to how to do it in #readme as well.
Discord uses a variation of markdown, which means that you can also easily format text to make it bold or italic, as well as add links.
