Programming Cheat Sheets

  • Useful 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.

  • Why are you encouraging deprecated mysql_* functions for PHP? overapi.com/php/

  • Here's a very nice Common Lisp quickref for anyone else who might be into it: http://clqr.boundp.org/

  • Is that the Comcast Sports South logo being used for CSS?

    CSS -> http://www.csssports.com/

  • I 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.

  • What, 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.

  • Damn, I read that as in "How to program cheat sheets." This is cool. That would be awesome.

  • We 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.

    The traction has been low till now, highlighting the fact that we need to seek a lot of feedback and iterate on it.

  • Why are some entries very fleshed out and comprehensive (jquery: http://overapi.com/jquery) while others are just links out (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 ...

  • The 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.

  • Very useful. And a really neat execution of a webpage. Was pleasantly surprised on how the elements shift as the page is resized.

  • http://overapi.com/religion/ Erm, alright. I was looking for Redis :)

  • Cool 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.

  • What I want to know is why the icon for regular expressions is the Fedex (or in this case, Regex) logo.

  • Great 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.

  • Seems 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.

  • It looks like C++ entry is missing my favorite C++ reference site by far: http://www.cppreference.com/index.html

  • To 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.

  • This 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.

  • I was clearly expecting a nice and shiny presentation of Linux kernel API (or at least system calls) when clicking on the penguin.

  • Where 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.

  • Shopify liquid cheat sheet: http://cheat.markdunkley.com/

  • The Python Class Special Methods have got extra dashes in. (But I love the clean look & uniformity overall)

  • When is this faster than Google combined with THING.methods ?

    At least as far as ruby goes it seems of limited use.

  • It should be on github pages or something similar, no ads, easy to fork and contribute.

  • Simply amazing, exactly what I was looking for thank you very much

  • How does the author plan to keep the cheat sheet updated?

  • Pretty awesome. Is there anything similar to this?

  • bookmarked

  • this is amazing, I am so happy someone took the time to put this together. Love it!!! Where is Objective-C? :(

  • it would be awesome to query for a cheatsheet on sublime or the console

  • I like it. Nice work.

  • bookmarked. good work.

  • I was looking for the current, living Python (3.3), not the one kept on life support for legacy maintenance (2.7).
