Coders' Shed vs. Stackoverflow
This topic was mainly made to point out the awesomeness of Coders' Shed to fanofcena who thinks Coders' Shed is pointless 
I honestly don't know if this goes here...
Anyway, have fun pointing out faults in the sites!

Re: Coders' Shed vs. Stackoverflow
Coder's Shed is awesome! I like the idea of being about to help and be helped with programming in a friendly environment.
I'll check out Stackoverflow....

Re: Coders' Shed vs. Stackoverflow
I find Stack Overflow to be dumb.
I'll search like "how to load an image in java" and overflow's answer will be 10 lines long
and then I'll go on CodeRanch or some such and find a 1 line answer.
Coder's Shed wins!

Re: Coders' Shed vs. Stackoverflow
Both are pretty different - Coders' Shed seems to be aimed at more casual programmers, while Stackoverflow seems to be aimed at, and infested with serious, and professional programmers. Not to mention Coders' Shed was created, what, less than a month ago? And as far as I'm aware, most of it's current members are from here, Scratch. This makes it pretty hard to make a comparison between those sites.
If I had to pick one, I'd go with the Shed purely because it's much more noob-friendly from what I've just seen. ;P And maybe because I often feel more comfortable in small communities.

Re: Coders' Shed vs. Stackoverflow
Is Stackoverflow really a forum?

Codershed! Friendly support, help, and generally friendly mods and admins who come just like normal users and help out, instead of waiting to be asked

Re: Coders' Shed vs. Stackoverflow
Coders' Shed, because like others have said, it's more "noob friendly". :3
Although, everyone here is naturally gonna be biased towards Coders' Shed. :\
Why

From what I know of him, he tends to lean towards things that more people use. Hence his support for PCs against Macs and Photoshop against Gimp.
No offence fanofcena, but you should widen out a bit more

Agreed.
Another reason for this thread is to see what SO has done bad on so that we (CS) can improve and have some shining features that SO has or does poorly

Re: Coders' Shed vs. Stackoverflow
What can i say as an admin on Coders' Shed?
All i can say is: It will rock when it's complete, with our own software, and a good user base.

Re: Coders' Shed vs. Stackoverflow
Ehh, I've not really been on any sites for any programming, All I do is learn from books, and from trial-and-error. That's how I made my C++ Minecraft before a virus wiped my PC clean (D:)

Re: Coders' Shed vs. Stackoverflow
If you want your site to be better than Stackoverflow, then don't delete accounts after a few months. It totally erases the point of accounts.
^lol^
