Useful in a pinch, but I would not recommend using these. Make your own. If you plan on using the language, making your own cheat sheet is the best way to learn it. By the time you are able to make one, you know what you use, what you always forget, and what is obscure, but important enough to need a quick refresher.
What? Did you even look through at how comprehensive the list of APIs they have online here is? I'm a full-time developer . No way I'm going to waste my time making a cheat-sheet for functions I may only write a few calls to when I could be doing productive coding. There's just too many APIs I need to use.
For something I love and want to use all the time, like Python, I'll make my own cheat sheet. For something like MySql, where I have to kick myself to pay attention every thirty seconds, there's no way I'm doing my own cheat sheet. I can barely bring myself to do the actual work.
So I take it you must be used to reading documentation and picking up new languages pretty quickly? If you must keep going to the documentation to remember a function, copy it out. I don't see how needing to dig through out of order lists is any more useful than digging through long winded documentation. The point of a cheat sheet is not just remembering the thing, but finding it quickly.
Agreed. No note of PDO or even mysqli anywhere, which is pretty unfortunate since novice programmers starting with PDO would be building safer apps.
Slightly off topic, but my rule of thumb: If your project is too big for Sqlite, it's big enough for Postgres. If it's too small for Postgres, it's small enough for Sqlite.
MySQL doesn't absolutely need to fit anywhere in the picture, but of course, this is precluding any host complications for existing projects.
Yeah. Looks like they also use a modified FedEx logo for regular expressions, some sort of unofficial Apache logo for mod_rewrite and .jar file type icon[1] for Java :)
Firefox user here, I was able to backspace just fine. If your somewhere other than top it takes two of them, one to go to top and the next worked just fine.
Now the dzone links requiring registration can take a hike
No but seriously this is useful. Bookmarked and pinned, extra points for making it pretty with nice UI. Certainly loads better than sifting through pages of monochrome documentation for a simple, quick answer to small problems.
We also built something very similar, but targeting mobile users only.
We started working on this app as an experiment on html5/cross platform apps; as well as to get server side experience supporting mobile apps.
Would love to see more listings of keyboard shortcuts. Overall this is really cool. I'm working on a printed cheat sheet/shortcut product so I'll definitely use this ...
The example I spotted immediately is the extremely useful document.querySelectorAll()[1] which works very much like $('.someSelector') in jquery, but completely native and supported by pretty much everything.
Cool idea, and nice execution. Although, I generally work in environments where I have auto-complete or documentation integration of some kind in the editor itself, so it's been quite a while since I've used a cheat sheet...maybe for MySQL if I ever use it again...never seem to become fluent in it.
Although I would rather not see the list of API's be cluttered with items like "Icons", "Logic", "Physics", etc. They are just general concepts and besides they have no actual contents beside a wikipedia and Wolfram Alpha link.
Seems like a neat idea, however I can't get any of the cheat sheets to load. Not sure if their servers are getting hammered or what, but all of the language cheat sheets show "Loading..." indefinitely for me.
