Back in the day the FlexCoders Yahoo! Group was all the rage. It was the place where Flex rock stars like Alex Harui and Doug McCune hung out and helped the community learn Flex. But these days a lot of developers have turned to StackOverflow.com as their primary resource for getting answers to their technical questions. I started using Stack Overflow over a year ago primarily because it makes it easy to follow the conversation around a specific question and quickly identify the right answer. Stack Overflow totally nails what I need as a developer when I have problems and questions. Many Flex rock stars have stepped up and frequently answered questions on Stack Overflow and I wanted to highlight the top 10 contributors to the “Flex” tag.
As of June 18, 2010 the top 10 Flex contributors on Stack Overflow (based on “All Time” total score) are:

I’ve only been using Stack Overflow regularly for about 2 months, give or take; and I just made it into the top 20..
Give me another three months, I bet I can break the top 10..
Do you know how those stats are calculated? Number of answers provided; I assume; relates to the number of correct answers you gave. Total score relates to the number of votes?
It’s great to have you answering questions on SO! You are #1 for the past 30 days. :)
I believe the total score is the total number of up votes (probably minus down votes) that your answers have received.
The guy that’s #1 answered 1,049 Flex questions, but only asked 5 questions himself ….. they must have been tricky ones!
