Is there any website out there somewhere where a programmer such as myself might be able to post pieces of code to be looked at by more experienced people? I am thinking of something that programmers could use to have advice given on how to improve their ability.

I really like the atmosphere here, but am not sure that posting code for review here is appropriate.

Yes, you can try Refactor My Code.

@Ben Dauphinee: You can view other people's posts without having to register. So you can look for yourself to see if it is what you need before posting there.

@thyrgle Website broken, unable to log in. Easier to post here, and I like this community. Brian offered good constructive answer.

Definitely do not poste a huge amount of code and ask to review here, but you can pick out certain pieces of your code that you are uneasy about and ask if there's a better way to do it.

I think you'll find that being specific will yield better results than posting on a site where they review all of your code.

Read FAQ ;)

@doc So then this would be the right place for asking for code tips to become a better dev eh? Since, a more experienced developer could usually provide at least one concrete answer as to how to improve.

@Ben Dauphinee: I think that short pieces of code are welcome here. But if you are going to post full programs, then it might "require extended discussion" and it will not match the requirements :)
