As the Curl community grows I want everyone to understand that "there are no stupid questions and there are no stupid answers". That's not original, its the motto of JavaRanch which was originally create by Kathy Sierra. JavaRanch is a wonderful and supportive community and so too is this site.
When you are new to the Curl platform it can be a little scary to ask a question for the first time. We understand that and I want to assure you that you will never be insulted or spoken down to on this forum. Never.
Curl is going to do everything we can to answer all questions as quickly as we can. Hopefully our community members like Friedger will continue to contribute. What is important to remember is that at one time, we were all beginners at something. Some people may ask a question that's been asked a thousand times before. We'll answer it with kindness knowing that as a beginner you have no idea what is common knowledge and what is not. It's all new to you right?
Lets not do what other forums do and tell people to "go read the manual" or "look in the archive". Maybe they already did, maybe they didn't. What we want to do is answer people's questions directly and with kindness.
The people who created Curl are very smart but they are also very kind people interested in succeeding and seeing others succeed with the Curl platform. You can see that in the design of the product and the ease of its use. That persona is also present in this community.
We were all beginners at something once. Curlers give back to their community by being kind to new members and sharing their knowledge.
All the best,
Richard
Great vision. Way to go. Curl is no less than Java. So has to be Curl community than JavaRanch.
