I have been an avid follower of Stack Overflow, which is a programming Q & A site that has a wealth of developer knowledge.  This particular website has an exceptional interface that makes navigating and searching extremely easy and effective.  Some members have said that once you start looking at Stack Overflow you are unable to quit.  I would agree and find myself checking this site several times a day for anything interesting. 

Now not being a developer I don’t have a particularly high reputation, but that’s okay because writing code is mostly a hobby for me.  Here is a quick view of the interface:

Why not give both sites a look and see if you can get any benefit from the many thousands of registered users posting questions and answers about topics that you are probably working with today?
