Source code is the bottom line for most programmers. Yes, you
have to learn the syntax, remember the commands, figure out the objects the
languge supports, ... and on and on. But at the end of the day, you write code.
This site is dedicated to providing useful code for programmers - code that
just about every programmer can use.
And, if you're like me, you've found that
no one language can satisfy all your needs. That's why this site covers
all of the most popular languages - to make the right tool available.
If you have code you think should be here, let me know. If you find errors,
let me know. Or if you simply think you have improvements I should know about,
I'd like to hear from you as well.
Be sure to check out my freeware code librarian, gbCodeLib,
which comes with most of the code you'll find here.
I'm actively adding to the snippets but here is a snapshot of the number
of snippets and/or mini-tutorials available. In general, I expect to
grow the libraries for each language to about 500 snippets for
each language, which is more than adequate to cover the needs of
the majority of programmers. Many more snippets than that and the
snippets will likely be specialty code, rather than code which can
be used over and over - which is one of my criteria for selecting snippets
for this library.
| Language |
| #Snippets | | Comments
|
|---|
Visual Basic | 262 | | Stable, expect fewer additions
| | JavaScript | | 140 | | Snippets and full scripts, fair amount of growth expected
| | Perl | | 69 | | A good start, but expect a lot more
| | HTML | | 67 | | Good coverage of basic functions, but HTML can only take
you so far. JavaScript and stylesheets are the primary areas of growth.
| | SQL | | 24 | | Some good examples already, probably won't grow too large
| | Java | | 17 | | Barely started here. Lots of room to grow.
| | DOS | | 16 | | Still useful, despite it's years. Will focus more on batch files
|
I'll be adding C#, ASP, PHP, VB.net and VBA to the library over the next few months.
The mini-tutorials are only counted as a single snippet, but actually contain dozens of line of sample code,
so don't forget to look inside them.
