Programming This forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Divide Programming into SubForums


I think we should have sub forums.

For example we should divide this forum to java, c++, etc. to make it easier for people to find the answer they need for specific programming problems.

I honestly don't think that the traffic in programming
warrants it - for me it would be more hassle to have to
look through 4,5 sub-forums to see whether there's a
subject I could help with rather than just glancing over
the page of 20 posts....

Better use of tags would make sense to me.

[edit]
As for the finding stuff: I reckon using the search
and tags makes more sense than grouping things by language.
If you had 50 pages worth of shell-scripting stuff to
wade through there'd be no benefit to the concept.
[/edit]


Cheers,
Tink

I'm going to have to agree with Tinkster. It would be much more of an annoyance for me to have to go through each forum. I mean, I may be able help regardless if the person is using Java, C++, C, Ruby, whatever. I think it'd kill this forum rather then help it.

i agree with the 'nay' votes. it may make sense for people who only focus on one language, but a lot of the people here use and can comment on multiple languages, so that would only be a hassle for them to click across multiple forums.
