Stackoverflow rocks! I use it all the time to help me through my learning curve. Until now though, my use has been pretty passive as I've felt a lack of knowledge. But now, I'm getting to the point where I need to ask some specific questions for which I can't figure the answer.
So, I'm taking the time to learn how best to use this site and contribute to it. I hope to add value in an increasing fashion.
