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 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.[1] Stack Overflow is written in ASP.NET using the ASP.NET MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework.[2]
