First Post! (aka CodeBlog Mission Statement)

I end up coding in a lot of different languages and keep on forgetting how to do simple things (is it "for x in y", "foreach", etc...). I need some place to store code that I can access from anywhere so that I don't have to keep going to Google each time I forget something. I don't want to post code snippets to my personal blog, so this is the new holding spot for all my coding tricks and treats. And thanks to SyntaxHighlighter 2.0 created by Alex Gorbatchev all those code snippets will be in full color and easy to view. For example, take this prize python gem: ##################################################################################### # Copyright (C) 2009 Greg Bray # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. ##################################################################################### import sys import clr from datetime import datetime print "Imported " + __name__ +" at "+ datetime.now().__str__() #display timestamp class TestClass(object): """This is a test class""" def __init__(self, strGreeting, strPlace=None): "strGreeting is a Salutation such as Hello. strPlace is an optional location." self.Greeting = strGreeting if strPlace == None: self.Place = "World" else: self.Place = strPlace def __str__(self): "Converts object to string" return "%s %s" % (self.Greeting, self.Place) #Run Code print TestClass("Hello") This returns: Imported __main__ at 2009-02-04 16:17:24.950000 Hello World Don't expect any long winded posts about Systems vs. Apps Hungarian Notation (ok... well maybe a few :-) as this is designed to be home to just sweet, sweet code. Enjoy!
