Programming Cheat Sheets
- callmeed 14y agoWhy are some entries very fleshed out and comprehensive (jquery: http://overapi.com/jquery http://overapi.com/jquery) while others are just links out (vim: http://overapi.com/vim http://overapi.com/vim)? Would love to see more listings of keyboard shortcuts. Overall this is really cool. I'm working on a printed cheat sheet/shortcut product so I'll definitely use this ...
- strongvigilance 14y agoOn the about page, they suggest making a pull request if you want to add to it, so I guess it's a work in progress. Repo is here: https://github.com/overthecs/overthecs.github.com https://github.com/overthecs/overthecs.github.com
- apl002 14y agoYes, I would also love to see something on all the keyboard shortcuts
- megablast 14y agoWhat, are you kidding? Why are some movies 3 hours long, but some are only 60 minutes?
- martin_ 14y agoWhy are you encouraging deprecated mysql_* functions for PHP? overapi.com/php/
- whage 14y ago+1
- eksith 14y agoAgreed. No note of PDO or even mysqli anywhere, which is pretty unfortunate since novice programmers starting with PDO would be building safer apps. Slightly off topic, but my rule of thumb: If your project is too big for Sqlite, it's big enough for Postgres. If it's too small for Postgres, it's small enough for Sqlite. MySQL doesn't absolutely need to fit anywhere in the picture, but of course, this is precluding any host complications for existing projects.
- ajq5623 14y agoThis is pretty useful! It would be cool if when you clicked a section title (i.e. String) it would take you to general documentation for that topic.
- notum 14y agohttp://overapi.com/religion/ http://overapi.com/religion/ Erm, alright. I was looking for Redis :)

- n3rdy 14y agoWhen time travel is achieved, many of us will need this when our future programmer selves come back to retaliate.
- companyhen 14y agoPretty awesome. Is there anything similar to this?
- DaveChild 14y agoThere's Cheatography.com (my site), where you can make your own cheat sheets.
- farinasa 14y agoUseful in a pinch, but I would not recommend using these. Make your own. If you plan on using the language, making your own cheat sheet is the best way to learn it. By the time you are able to make one, you know what you use, what you always forget, and what is obscure, but important enough to need a quick refresher.
- apl002 14y agoAgreed. Pretty cool when starting out though
- letney 14y agoWhat? Did you even look through at how comprehensive the list of APIs they have online here is? I'm a full-time developer . No way I'm going to waste my time making a cheat-sheet for functions I may only write a few calls to when I could be doing productive coding. There's just too many APIs I need to use. This is an awesome resource.
- Kluny 14y agoYeah dude. For something I love and want to use all the time, like Python, I'll make my own cheat sheet. For something like MySql, where I have to kick myself to pay attention every thirty seconds, there's no way I'm doing my own cheat sheet. I can barely bring myself to do the actual work.
- farinasa 14y agoOnce you make the mental transition from "mysql" to "SQL" and actually treat it as a language, it gets interesting.
- farinasa 14y ago>I'm a full-time developer . So I take it you must be used to reading documentation and picking up new languages pretty quickly? If you must keep going to the documentation to remember a function, copy it out. I don't see how needing to dig through out of order lists is any more useful than digging through long winded documentation. The point of a cheat sheet is not just remembering the thing, but finding it quickly.
- ante_annum 14y agoI would strongly encourage you to undo the backspace capturing and just allow my browser to go back in navigation the way I like it to.
- Shivetya 14y agoFirefox user here, I was able to backspace just fine. If your somewhere other than top it takes two of them, one to go to top and the next worked just fine. Now the dzone links requiring registration can take a hike
- jgw 14y agoHere's a very nice Common Lisp quickref for anyone else who might be into it: http://clqr.boundp.org/ http://clqr.boundp.org/
- Fauntleroy 14y agoIs that the Comcast Sports South logo being used for CSS? CSS -> http://www.csssports.com/ http://www.csssports.com/
- NuZZ 14y agoI think I know why. It's the first google images result that is even remotely logo-friendly.
- ville 14y agoYeah. Looks like they also use a modified FedEx logo for regular expressions, some sort of unofficial Apache logo for mod_rewrite and .jar file type icon[1] for Java :) The website seems useful, however.

- frogpelt 14y agoSure is. I wondered if that was on purpose.
- donutdan4114 14y agobookmarked
- prg318 14y agoSeems like a neat idea, however I can't get any of the cheat sheets to load. Not sure if their servers are getting hammered or what, but all of the language cheat sheets show "Loading..." indefinitely for me.
- SeanDav 14y agoYou probably have javascript disabled. I use noscript to do this and got the same until I enabled JS for the site.
- SiVal 14y agoI was looking for the current, living Python (3.3), not the one kept on life support for legacy maintenance (2.7).
- tlarkworthy 14y agoEh? GAE and Ubuntu LTS
- goldfeld 14y agoDamn, I read that as in "How to program cheat sheets." This is cool. That would be awesome.
- droncancio 14y agoit would be awesome to query for a cheatsheet on sublime or the console
- nakovet 14y agoIt should be on github pages or something similar, no ads, easy to fork and contribute.
- wasd 14y agoIt looks like it is on github pages: https://github.com/overthecs/overthecs.github.com https://github.com/overthecs/overthecs.github.com I don't mind the ads. If its a useful tool, he can feel free to monetize on it.
- letney 14y agoI just hope he can keep it up to date. Some cheatsheets/APIs can change considerably over subsequent releases.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- mdda 14y agoThe Python Class Special Methods have got extra dashes in. (But I love the clean look & uniformity overall)
- dougk16 14y agoCool idea, and nice execution. Although, I generally work in environments where I have auto-complete or documentation integration of some kind in the editor itself, so it's been quite a while since I've used a cheat sheet...maybe for MySQL if I ever use it again...never seem to become fluent in it.
- jordan_clark 14y agoI like it. Nice work.
- amerf1 14y agoSimply amazing, exactly what I was looking for thank you very much
- sachingulaya 14y agoShopify liquid cheat sheet: http://cheat.markdunkley.com/ http://cheat.markdunkley.com/
- acc00 14y agoI was clearly expecting a nice and shiny presentation of Linux kernel API (or at least system calls) when clicking on the penguin.
- suyash 14y agoHow does the author plan to keep the cheat sheet updated?
- jfmercer 14y agobookmarked. good work.
- aroman 14y agoWhat I want to know is why the icon for regular expressions is the Fedex (or in this case, Regex) logo.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- obstacle1 14y agoGoing to go out on a limb here and say it was intended as a cute little joke.
- hayksaakian 14y agoWhen is this faster than Google combined with THING.methods ? At least as far as ruby goes it seems of limited use.
- letney 14y agoWhere can I recommend missing cheat sheets? I often use the GLSL cheat sheets and I can't see any links to them on the site.
- TommyDANGerous 14y agothis is amazing, I am so happy someone took the time to put this together. Love it!!! Where is Objective-C? :(
- dylangs1030 14y agoWhat, no Lisp? I'm offended. No but seriously this is useful. Bookmarked and pinned, extra points for making it pretty with nice UI. Certainly loads better than sifting through pages of monochrome documentation for a simple, quick answer to small problems.
- RaSoJo 14y agoVery useful. And a really neat execution of a webpage. Was pleasantly surprised on how the elements shift as the page is resized.
- Trezoid 14y agoThe javascript one is incomplete. The example I spotted immediately is the extremely useful document.querySelectorAll()[1] which works very much like $('.someSelector') in jquery, but completely native and supported by pretty much everything. [1]https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/Document.querySelectorAll https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/Document.queryS...
- 3dptz 14y agoGreat work and nice execution. Although I would rather not see the list of API's be cluttered with items like "Icons", "Logic", "Physics", etc. They are just general concepts and besides they have no actual contents beside a wikipedia and Wolfram Alpha link.
- microtherion 14y agoIt looks like C++ entry is missing my favorite C++ reference site by far: http://www.cppreference.com/index.html http://www.cppreference.com/index.html
- gmrple 14y agoTo the author: Small spelling mistake on the Regex Cheat Sheet: the sub title of the anchors group is currently "anchros". Looks cool! will have to use at some point.
- gfapps 14y agoWe also built something very similar, but targeting mobile users only. We started working on this app as an experiment on html5/cross platform apps; as well as to get server side experience supporting mobile apps. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/keyboard-shortcuts!/id489432981 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/keyboard-shortcuts!/id489432... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greenlife.android.shortcuts.a https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greenlife.... The traction has been low till now, highlighting the fact that we need to seek a lot of feedback and iterate on it. (edited for formatting; first time poster)
