In September, Stack Overflow will also celebrate its 6th birthday. There is no doubt that Stack Overflow is the most popular development community for programmers in the world, and it is also one of the most content-rich communities.

Reddit

Reddit is also a very unique community. You can submit topics of interest on Reddit, and discuss programming development issues and current IT hot news with other programmers. Reddit is an open community with strong user stickiness, and the programming development section is only a small part of it.

SitePoint

The SitePoint community forum is also one of my favorite online development communities and programmer designer homes. SitePoint's main goal is to help beginners understand the programming language and technology of their choice and improve accordingly. The website content includes web development, web design, technical writing, and user experience.

As of August 2013, more than 1 million users have joined CodeProject and shared more than 1 million code demos. In CodeProject, you can share your code with your friends. Unlike other communities, CodeProject focuses more on software development, such as CC# C++ Java Lisp and other development.

DZone

DZone is a community that allows users to share latest IT news and programming resources. It is a content-driven community, so it needs many content administrators to check the quality of articles. In a sense, it is similar to HN and other programming communities, but this platform has been around the longest and has the largest number of users.

Bytes

Bytes is a traditional development community where novices and experts can discuss issues related to software development, database development, and network and system management. Databases, networks, and systems are the foundation of programming, and we need to pay attention to issues in this area so that we can better improve our programming skills.
