"Hey Scott, how do I format this API call so the
data comes back as a string instead of an object?"
Sometimes it’s hard
to find the right doc at the right time. Lots of web pages mention the terms you’re looking
for, but which ones actually have them in the right context? We ask our friends and coworkers
these questions because we bet they’ve seen the problem before. We trust their technical
judgment and we know they can skip straight to the right answer.
Whenever you
find the key information you need, we hope you’ll +1 that page and let the world know! It’s a
simple way to help point the people you code with in the right direction and make RTFM’ing a
bit easier for everyone.
