About the Help category

Get help and support, ask questions, request a code review, or get guidance from fellow rubyists. Large and small projects, beginners and advanced programmers, all are welcome here.

You can obtain better results when asking for help using the following guidelines:

  1. Provide background and enough details: What’s happening? What’s the problem about? Be as specific and on-topic as possible.

  2. Give context: Is it a blocker? Curiosity? Why should someone invest time on answering the question?

  3. Search and research:

  4. Keep an open mind: The answer to your question may not always be the one you wanted, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. A conclusive answer isn’t always possible. When in doubt, you can ask for an extra explanation or context on how/where they learned something.
