Over the past few years, we&#x27;ve put together a couple of (reasonably short) guides to asking questions on Stack Overflow; if you&#x27;re a beginner (or simply struggling to learn the Stack Overflow way of doing things), it wouldn&#x27;t hurt to read them:<p>- <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackoverflow.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;how-to-ask" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackoverflow.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;how-to-ask</a><p>- <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackoverflow.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;mcve" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackoverflow.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;mcve</a><p>Disclaimer: I work for Stack Overflow, but these were mostly written by folks who don&#x27;t and who just wanted to see new users have an easier time - I just edited them.
