Comments on: Day 1: Read Other People’s Code http://coliveira.net/software/day-1-read-other-peoples-code/ Some Ideas by Carlos Oliveira Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:19:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: coliveira http://coliveira.net/software/day-1-read-other-peoples-code/comment-page-1/#comment-159 coliveira Thu, 04 Jun 2009 19:51:25 +0000 http://coliveira.net/?p=325#comment-159 @Sam: hi, it is true that the Linux kernel is an extreme example, but you would be surprised at how much code you can find for any technology. You can go for example to http://www.google.com/codesearch and search for your favorite language, such as C, C#, Java, Ruby, etc. You will find lots of free software ready to be discovered. In the end, you can even get new ideas to improve the code and become one of the contributors. This is the way most people start on open source. @Sam: hi, it is true that the Linux kernel is an extreme example, but you would be surprised at how much code you can find for any technology.

It would be really helpful for a Linux kernel programmer to go through the open source code and learn the way to program. However, it is difficult to get open source code in other software technologies like dot net, how would somebody get access to good code?? looking at linux code does not really help with object oriented proramming?? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks again Carlos for coming up with the better programmer series...you have stepped up to create a better software world!!! Very accurate and interesting article.

Only by looking other people's code we can come to know how our code is doing (either good/bad). This is why it is recommended to do peer reviews at all stages of project build. Interesting series, expecting the upcoming posts! :) Agree with you.
