CS2030 Forum Guidelines

[seanlowjk]

Welcome to CS2030 Forum using Github Issues

We will be using Github Issues for CS2030 Q&A instead of the LumiNUS Forum!

Please take note of the following etiquette. Let's make this a pleasant place for online interaction and peer learning!

1. If you have a new question, create a new post instead of posting it as a reply on someone else's unrelated question.

2. Think carefully about what you are posting and write a succinct summary (or post title) that describe the question. E.g., the title "Java" is too generic. "Unable to install java?" is better. "installing Java on Windows 10 gives the error 'permission denied'" is even better.

3. Avoid posting questions that have been asked before (read through what others have posted before posting yourself) or have been answered in the notes and handouts (read through carefully what we released to the class)

4. Github Issues supports powerful formatting. If your post or reply contain code, using proper formatting to make your post readable. Markdown is powerful in allowing you to write inline code. For example:

public void sayHello() {
    System.out.println("Hello World!");
}

5. If you post about a problem you faced, please provide all the information (what you have done, what error message you faced) to help the readers of this forum help you. E.g., "My program cannot compile. Can you please help?" is not a meaningful post.
