For hard-core fans of Joel, I am sure this is no news. But for others, here is a website where you can go for any technical snag...
The link to the website is - www.stackoverflow.com
I have been using it ever since it was launched, about a month ago. A very useful site and a highly responsive one. On an average I get answers to my queries in like 10 or 15 mins... So it has quite a strong user network for a site that is just 1 month old. And the best part about the site, is the integrated voting facility. Because of this, wrong answers get voted out. So unlike in a discussion forum where you will have to dig deep for the diamond, here you have the right answers at the top. And mostly these are verified answers. Apart from that, the other good feature that I liked is, as soon as you type the title of the question, the website shows a set of related questions. This not only avoids duplication at the root, but also provides us with a quick way to search if such a quesiton has already been asked.
For detailed information on this , you can get it right from the horse's mouth here.
And for those of you who dont follow Joel's blog I stronly recommend you to start. Its an awesome tech blog.
