Community is to gather a group of people with the same hobby or the same industry. IT technology community is to gather technical people in the IT industry. In the technology community, they can learn the latest progress of the industry, learn the most cutting-edge technology, and know friends with the same hobby, so as to learn and communicate together.
There are three types of people in the technical community. The first type is the technical people who search for problems. Most programmers learn about the technical community in this way, or ask questions in the community when they encounter problems. The second type of technical people, consciously often go to the technical community to check the blog, learn new knowledge; The third group of people, the people who write articles, like to share a certain kind of technology, or their experience in the field. Often people who write articles also like to read articles.
In general, technical community is the place where technical people gather, and it is also the best place for technical people to learn and communicate. In my business time, I sorted out the top ten IT communities in China according to information such as visits to help people find their homes.
CSDN
CSDN (Chinese Software Developer Network), founded by Tao Jiang in 1999, is a professional IT community in China, providing Software developers in China with knowledge dissemination, online learning, career development and other life-cycle services. As of June 2018, CSDN has more than 25 million technical members, more than 10 million forum posts, more than 7 million technical resources, more than 13 million Blog articles and more than 4.3 million new media matrix fans.
I got involved with CSDN in the university. When I participated in mathematical modeling in 2009, I often downloaded materials from CSDN. After graduation in 2010, I wrote down some software usage commands and common Oracle syntax in my blog, but later I forgot my blog. I moved to blog park due to CSDN’s excessive advertising, until I became a CSDN blog expert last year and came back to sync some articles. My blog at CSDN
CSDN is a community with the most comprehensive coverage in the domestic IT industry, where many masters and heroes are hidden. Up to now, there are still many high-level talents such as scholars and graduate students Posting blogs in CSDN, and a large number of IT peers are also active in CSDN. However, IT is criticized that CSDN has the most advertisements. The user experience is very poor. But this year’s revamp of the blogging system is a bit better than before, and the bloggers don’t have to display ads, which is to be applauded.

Alexa from the ranking of the current row in the world 41, worthy of the domestic technology community boss.
Blog garden
Blogpark, founded in January 2004, is a knowledge sharing community for developers. Since its inception, Blog Park has been committed to creating a pure technical exchange community for developers, promoting and helping developers to share knowledge through the Internet, so that more developers can benefit from it. Blogosphere’s mission is to help developers change the world with code.
The development of the Blog Park can especially reflect the dedication of IT practitioners: In 2004, the blog was born in jiangsu yangzhou garden such a small city, IT is very backward, nearly four years, blog garden by only one a few years of work savings in maintaining, blog garden one step a footprint to walk yourself’s road, silly to each user to register for examination and approval of manual, on the home page content is nothing more, to the inappropriate advertising rejected, Silly to care about the user experience, to the profit model cold.
It can be seen that the blog park page is very clean and fresh, dry goods are placed in the first place, there is no popular round broadcast, no advertising, just for such feelings should also be praised blog Park. The main feature of the blog park is that it is open enough. The articles on the front page are decided by the readers, and each person’s blog can also be customized. Therefore, blogs now have the richest personal blog skin interface, and I see the imagination of programmers in the blog Park.
In my first job, I worked as an outsourcing company in Huawei. I could not access the Internet when WORKING inside Huawei, but I could access some mainstream technical websites, including blog Park. At that time, I always had to visit the technical community during my lunch break. I was attracted by the IT industry news in the blog Park, so I formed the habit of reading the industry news in the blog Park. But I didn’t start to write blog in blogpark until 2016. In 2017, I became one of the recommended blogs of blogpark. Now, my blog is one of the top 30 recommended blogs of Blogpark. My blog at blogosphere

Developer headlines
Developer Toutiao is also a technology sharing platform that has suddenly become active in the past two years. IT is founded by a group of programmers. My first impression of developer Toutiao is Code Farming Weekly, which is an IT technology weekly specially designed for programmers. The platform will select one week of IT technology dry goods to push. I didn’t find it until I found out that some of the traffic to my independent blog came from this site for a while. Developer Toutiao has gathered a crowd of tech enthusiasts.

GitChat
GitChat is a knowledge sharing product based on wechat platform. Through this product, we hope to change the way of LEARNING IT knowledge. GitChat is a pioneer of technology payment, which is relatively early in the field of technology payment in China.
When I was 17, SOMEONE left a message on my official account inviting me to do a sharing on GitChat, I had no idea what GitChat was. With a try attitude, I shared with you: What is Spring Cloud doing from the perspective of architectural evolution? I made another course: quick learning of Spring Boot technology stack. Unexpectedly, one year later, the sales volume of this course has reached the top three of the best-selling platform, which is quite encouraging. GitChat was later acquired by CSDN, so you’ll see GitChat featured on CSDN as well.

conclusion
The overall technical atmosphere of China’s IT technology community is quite good. In recent years, many new technology communities have been born, some of which are oriented towards vertical direction, and some of which are oriented towards all IT personnel, ultimately promoting the technical development of the IT industry. But at the same time, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the user experience and community openness of most technical communities. There is no ideal open and comprehensive technical community. Maybe this is the next opportunity?
Finally, as a beneficiary of the IT technology community, I would like to thank all the technical community staff for creating a learning and communication place for their peers. We can also talk about the usual active in which technical community, welcome to leave a message exchange.
