  1. What Coding Resource Should I Use?

    Ask · Programming · · posted by Cliff · from the where-do-you-go-to-share-your-code dept. · 10 comments
    Julius C asks: "What coding resource should one use? There are so many out there. Should I go to the big jungle, Internet.com? Or what about Planet-Source-Code.com? There is even this promising new site DeskCode.com. All have their pluses, but what is the best for me? I am a serious die-hard programmer like many out there. My only thirst is the thirst for new unheard of knowledge. Internet.com seems to provide to those who like reading through articles written by a group of know it alls. That's good for some, but I like code, I like reading up-to-the-minute stuff contributed by my peers. Where do I go for that?"

    "When I first started on this quest for a place on the net where I can call home, a lot of people pointed me to HotScripts.com. Now this is a good site. But it is only a site full of links. I have to give it up to the creator of the site for creating the Yahoo!-like link central for coding but that is all HotScripts is, a link repository.

    Then one of my peers sent me to a site called Planet-Source-Code.com. Now at first I was amazed. I couldn't believe it; this site had most of what I was looking for. Discussion groups, code and articles submitted, well by a group of know-it-alls, but I guess a decent group I could live with. For months I made this my home and all was great. But time came for me to test new waters. I still had to find the perfect home on the net.

    Early this month, I saw a post on a message board, about this new site called DeskCode.com. Now this site is perfect. Code submissions by users, wow. So I decided 'Hmm, let me test it!' What did you know, the code was submitted and it showed up right on the main page after I hit refresh. Wow. People will actually read the knowledge I have to share. To make things better, it even had voting for its submissions, so they can even tell me if my code stinks. The site is filled with tons of features not found on the big corporate sites. Now this was great. The only problem with the site is that the user-base is low. Hopefully the site is run by some headstrong people and won't see its doom anytime soon. Until then, or when another site shows up with better features DeskCode.com will be my home. What do the rest of you think?"
