Slack is our main communication tool. Any help you need or any questions you have: communicate them via Slack! Many tech companies also use Slack and it’s a huge advantage to have Slack skills when you apply for jobs in tech.

How to ask for help in #support-coding

How to ask for help

When you ask something here, always make sure that you:

  • Describe what you are trying to do/achieve, and in which exercise/project

  • Include details about what you have tried already

  • Write your question in a clear and understandable way (preferably in English, but in Spanish is also allowed)

  • Include the relevant parts of the code where you are getting the error/issue and always include any error codes you have received

  • Use code snippets (ctrl / cmd + shift + c) to share your code to make it readable for humans

  • Use (shift + enter) to pass to the next line

Question templates

In case you receive errors or things that go wrong during exercises, so short questions that can probably be solved in a chat, you can write your question as follows:

  • Hello + I need help with [issue description] + screenshot/error message/etc. + what you have already tried to do + potential solutions you already found.

If you feel lost, if you missed things or if you need some extra support in understand the materials, you can write your question as follows:

  • Hello + I need help with [issue description] + proposal for time period you could have a call.

Useful links to search information before posting in this channel

Please don’t hesitate to make use of asking questions here! You can also have a look at previous questions of other students to see what are good approaches to asking for help.

Useful Slack tips

Use THREADS (Hilos) to reply to messages, and find replies to your active threads on the top right (a nice video with more details )

Put a clear display name and a clear profile picture (info on how to edit your profile )

Confirm messages by leaving an Emoji (how to do so check )

I will save important messages by adding them to 'Pinned Items' (more info how to find them )

Create a private/direct message with the round button on the top left of the screen (more info )
