I Could Build Stackoverflow, Right?

12. December 2009

I have been wanting a little side project to work on to keep my skills up to date, so I figured I would create a clone of Stackoverflow. It would be simple, right? Well, maybe not but that isn’t going to stop me from trying.

Usually with projects like this I end up losing steam, and giving up after getting a basic prototype put together. I figured that if I blog about the problems, and interesting tidbits I find while doing it I would stay motivated. So, we will see how that works. The tools I will be using are straightforward.

  • Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2
  • MVC2
  • Sql Server 2008 Express
  • Jquery
  • Whatever else I find that will help

Keep in mind that I am not trying to build a replacement, but rather something to build in my spare time. It probably won’t be as polished, or perform as well, but that isn’t the idea.  Wish me luck!

I hate stack overflow.com because SO is not future of programming. We need Another SO with some Good & cool new feature.

You should perhaps consider reading this article before starting out?

How is this coming? I love the SO site - very well done and thought through.

Slow, but steady. I took a break from it for the holidays. I will start back up next week.
