Awesome sites to find useful code snippets

by Jean-Baptiste Jung. 14 Comments -

As a developer, I really like to collect and keep a library of useful code snippets that allow me to save a lot of time when building websites or apps. Today, I have compiled a list of the most interesting websites to find useful code snippets.

CatsWhoCode snippet library


Some of you already know it, but a few weeks ago I’ve created a snippet library with a picky selection of usefull snippets focused on web development: PHP, JavaScript, CSS, htaccess… Approximately one new snippet is published every day. Users are welcome to submit their own snippets.

Snipplr


Snipplr is probably the largest code snippet repository available on the internet. Since 5 years, they have published thousand of pieces of code. Some snippets are super useful, some other not so, but there’s a strong chance that you’ll find what you need on a website with so many snippets.

DZone code snippets


DZone Snippets is a public source code repository, hosted by popular developer website DZone. Thousands of snippets in more than 25 languages are available. As it is 100% user powered, quality is very mixed: some snippets are useful and well coded while some other are a complete waste of time.

    This is so helpful. I’m not a great PHP coder, so I love finding scripts that are already created! Maybe a few tweaks here and there, and you’re all set! Thank you for providing this list.
