How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

leave a comment »

Recently looking to find an answer to my “R” ( programming language for statistical computation) query, I stumbled upon an article written by Eric Steven Raymond on how to ask questions effectively on public forum.  For an essay written as user guide/help for asking questions, unexpectedly, the article is a great read. As much interesting as any fiction novel. In fact, it got me hooked, and I kept reading the article for an hour, completely unaware that I was searching for solution of a problem.

Here is a link to the wonderfully written piece. No wonder, the essayist Eric Raymond has been writing on technical issues for decades, and has even written a sci-fi novel.
