General guidance on getting help:

If your question is of a general nature where other students would benefit from hearing the answer, post to the class discussion forum. Your instructors will be monitoring it, and providing answers (if another students hasn't first).

If your question is of a personal nature, or some administrative matter, considering using email.

Office hours are best when you would like to engage in a discussion or desire more extensive help.

The teaching assistants are an excellent resource for help with exercises or projects, make use of them! Both teaching assistants have (or are in the process of finishing) computer science degrees, so they can answer technical questions also.

Your instructor is the most authoritative on issues like what will be covered on the exams, deeper insights into the course material, etc.
