Hi
It's all well and good talking about best practices and so on, but if you're anything like me there is so much to be learned from looking at great code. I regularly examine HMTL, CSS, Javascript using firebug, or when coding in C++ I can call upon any of the vast number of high quality open source projects, like boost.
However, I do not know where to look for great server side code for running websites. Or more specifically where can I find the source for entire websites, including the server side code, client side code and database structures and how these all tie in together.
There are of course lots of open source web projects like wordpress, oscommerce or joomla, but these all really aim at being platforms and providing huge amounts of functionality and extensibility and what not.. I am looking for examples of focused real world applications like an ecommerce store or whatever, showcasing all the best practices of web development.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
p.s. PHP is my current language of usage but all is welcome
