I use the low-tech method of simply storing code snippets (as well as
other useful information) into hierarchical folders on my hard drive.
When I need to go to a customer site, I can simply burn them to a DVD or
to a 2GB memory chip (HP laptops and PCs have slots for chips -- and I
use an adapter for my Dell). For example, my upper level hierarchy
includes:
CSS
Database
dotNET
Enterprise Architecture
Golf
JavaScripts
LDAP
Programming
Security
SharePoint
The Server Side
Visual Studio
Web Development
Windows Server
XML
Each directory has up to eight levels of sub-folders, broken down by
category. For instance, the Database folder includes:
articles
encryption
functions
PivotTable
scripts
SQL Server 2005
Stand Alone SQL
stored procedures
tips
tools
triggers
udf
Utilities
Vbscript
And under each of those folders, sub-folders containing the actual
nuggets. You get the idea. But isn't searching that a pain? Not if
you use a tool like Google Desktop.
Granted, that is a lazy way to store snippets -- but it works for the
moment. I do like the idea of a Wiki, which is superior if you want to
share your code with your team.
Hope that helps.
