Sure, check out api.drupal.org first.

People on #drupal  are usually helpful if there is a concrete, 
development related question. "Development" means core or contrib 
development, not "how do I set up my site to do this or that?". This 
last comment wasn't for you, though. We also have #drupal-support for 
the latter type of questions.
