Re: [Makumba-user] [mak-users] Get help fast when coding with makumba - makumba on StackOverflow

[João A. <jja...@gm...>]

Hey,

This sure is a great ideia!

Personally, I tend to recur to StackOverflow for insight on the programming
questions I come up with. Good to see that, now, Makumba is also represented
there :).

Hopefully I'll post some more questions there soon enough.

cheers,

João
