'''Stack Overflow''' is a [[website]] featuring questions and answers on a wide range of topics in [[computer programming]]. Created by [[Joel Spolsky]] and [[Jeff Atwood]] in 2008<ref name="introducing">{{citeweb | title = Introducing Stackoverflow.com | url = http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001101.html | work = Coding Horror | date = 2008-04-16 |accessdate=2009-03-11| author = Jeff Atwood}}</ref><ref>{{citeweb | title = None of Us is as Dumb as All of Us | url = http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001169.html | work = Coding Horror | date = 2008-09-16 |accessdate=2009-03-11| author = Jeff Atwood}}</ref> as a more open alternative to early forums like [[Experts Exchange]], the site features the ability to ask and answer questions, vote questions and answers up and down, edit questions and answers, and so forth by its membership. Users of Stack Overflow can earn reputation points and “badges”; for example, a person is awarded 10 reputation points for receiving an “up” vote on an answer given to a question on the site.<ref name="soFAQ">[http://stackoverflow.com/faq#reputation Stack Overflow FAQ, “What is Reputation?”] (last viewed: [[2009-02-26]])</ref>
