I'm a programmer. I want to be a better programmer. I want to read more source code written by other people (especially open source projects). Also, I'd like to be able to have a on-hand searchable reference to all of that source code so that I can pull up reference to structures and snippets.
Does anyone know of a way to use the Kindle for this? Has anyone tried? What were your findings?
Additionally, does anyone know of a website that indexes all open source source code?
Google Code Search indexes source code it finds online. As for actually reading it on the Kindle, I know the Kindle can read PDFs, so you can print code to that format
I don't know of 1 site that has all open source code but you can browse through github.com by your language and sort by popular projects.
I think I kind of answered part of my own question. Thank you for the links to github and google code.
I think I'll design and mash up some solution that incorporates github, google code and the links that I found below.
I will update when I learn more.
Thank you all.
