The PHP community is all over the place, we tend to argue over code formatting and tabs vs spaces more than we do anything else.
I have been involved with many programming language communities over the years, but of the finest I have ever been involved with is the Ruby community. They are helpful and offer so much up to the community as a whole. ""Matz is nice so we are nice." is what it is all about.
I went to my first major Ruby event, this year's Railsconf, and I was very pleased by the community spirit.
That's so awesome Ben. Perfect example of what I am talking about. :-)
It's difficult to say. I've been able to find the answer for every question I've ever thought of, but a lot of it comes wrapped up a level of elitism. This is Oracle SQL and the APEX Community.
Arrogance and elitism are the worst thing that can happen to any community.
