What Coding Resource Should I Use? 10
"When I first started on this quest for a place on the net where I can call home, a lot of people pointed me to HotScripts.com. Now this is a good site. But it is only a site full of links. I have to give it up to the creator of the site for creating the Yahoo!-like link central for coding but that is all HotScripts is, a link repository.
Then one of my peers sent me to a site called Planet-Source-Code.com. Now at first I was amazed. I couldn't believe it; this site had most of what I was looking for. Discussion groups, code and articles submitted, well by a group of know-it-alls, but I guess a decent group I could live with. For months I made this my home and all was great. But time came for me to test new waters. I still had to find the perfect home on the net.
Early this month, I saw a post on a message board, about this new site called DeskCode.com. Now this site is perfect. Code submissions by users, wow. So I decided 'Hmm, let me test it!' What did you know, the code was submitted and it showed up right on the main page after I hit refresh. Wow. People will actually read the knowledge I have to share. To make things better, it even had voting for its submissions, so they can even tell me if my code stinks. The site is filled with tons of features not found on the big corporate sites. Now this was great. The only problem with the site is that the user-base is low. Hopefully the site is run by some headstrong people and won't see its doom anytime soon. Until then, or when another site shows up with better features DeskCode.com will be my home. What do the rest of you think?"

So did deskcode.com pay for this fake Ask Slashdot advert, or was Cliff just too dumb to notice this incredibly obvious plug?

It focuses on web programming, so you won't find C or anything, but you'll find tons of stuff for my new favourite languages, PHP and Python.
Besides, posting this will nullify my accidental moderation up of a seemingly innocuous link that displayed the disgusting picture favoured by the trolls around here. I even hovered over the link to check first. I can't believe someone registered "techiescripts.com" for that purpose...

Check out Programmer's Heaven [programmersheaven.com], more code than you can shake a stick at!
You apparently can add submissions in some manner. It started out as a collection of files on two CD-ROMs, which are near impossible to find now (I managed to grab a copy from somewhere, probably Walnut Creek, before they started getting real scarce). Lots of great code, ideas, articles and such on just about every programming topic and problem.
While a lot of the code isn't cutting edge, it is still an excellent resource, no matter what language you code in...

Any sites not focused on MS-Windows? (Score:2)
Arre there any sites like this that aren't focused on MS-Windows? I'd prefer a 'generic' site, but one with a Linux/Open Source/*nix slant would be fine also.

I'm sorry folks, no free t-shirts. We're not trying to be all gimmicky like those other programming sites, we're all about just straight-out programmer to programmer collaboration. But we might send you an AOL coaster if you ask nicely.
