Added Bytes Cheat Sheets Google Group

Twitter and BackBoard

2008-11-20T17:31:53Z

Hi folks,
In the interests of coming up with a better system for getting
feedback on cheat sheets, I've set up a twitter account and a
backboard account and am going to try those out for a couple of cheat
sheets. If they work effectively they may replace this group setup,
but we'll see - it's still new :).

Python Cheat Sheet - Last Call for Changes

2008-11-15T11:13:44Z

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the long break between activity. I've been working on a few
new cheat sheets bits and pieces that I hope to be able to start
showing off by the end of the year.
For now, the Python cheat sheet is almost ready to go, I think. The
final gap has been filled with List Methods. File, Date, Time and

Good idea, Randy. I'll sort that out as soon as I have a few spare minutes.

Cheat Sheets Display Modification

2008-09-25T20:32:53Z

On the pages that show details about the cheat sheet (ex:
[link]) it would be
nice to have the thumbnail shown on the right just link to the png
version of the cheatsheet... I've sent several people there and a lot
of them try to click on the thumbnail and it takes a second to realize

Dave,

You say you have been working on a tool to satisfy this need. In what
language is the tool written in, and perhaps more importantly, would
it be open source?

Such a tool could cause the number of cheet sheets available to
exploid, with AB as a hub for both user submitted and site approved

Hi,

I can assist you guys in creating that chess cheat sheet. I think I
can create all those pics easily.
Just let me know if you are interested.

I am a chess player and have done some programming work on it too.

Thanks

Thanks, both of you (and to the rest of the group)! The Subversion
Cheat Sheet is now live:

Enjoy, and please do feel free to continue offering suggestions and
feedback here. It's not perfect, of course, and I'm always looking for
ways to improve these things.

David,

I think its in great shape for the initial "official" release
tomorrow. I like all of the changes in v2 - removing the one-time info
on repository layout makes sense with the "cheat sheet" approach, and
the Merge examples are great - makes me realize in this instance, it
is easier and less confusing to use the command-line approach than it

The svn cheatsheet is looking good, the only thing i might add is some
of the built in properties such as svn:ignore and svn:externals and
the like, but not sure where you would put them... ;)

Thanks for all the hard work!

Charly, it's never too late - even after a cheat sheet has been
released I'm happy to change it if someone has an improvement. :)
Great suggestions, too. List methods are a definite yes, and date and
time methods sound useful too. What information, precisely, would you
want to see added in a string formatting section?

Thanks, Alan - good idea.
I've made a few small changes to the SVN cheat sheet, and the new
version is on Google now:

I've added a merge section as suggested. I've also removed the
Recommended Repo layout bit - not, I think, something will need a

David,

The first version of the Subversion cheat sheet looks great so far. My
only suggestion is to possibly add a section on Merging, which is
quite confusing, even thru the GUI interface of TortoiseSVN, as I
always seem to specify it backwards from what Subversion wants.

Thanks for your efforts - they are appreciated.

Re: Regular Expressions on Cheat Sheets

2008-08-05T23:24:15Z

Yes, great idea. If you have the time, you could add Vim Regex Syntax
to the sheet - it's very complicated (maybe already to specific, just
an idea...)

Re: Python Cheat Sheet

2008-08-05T23:20:16Z

Don't know if it's already too late, but I suppose feedback is always
appreciated.
At first, good idea to remove the regexp section, because it's almost
always the same. I hope you replace it with a list of list methods?!
And to the list of special class methods, if you mention some of the
mathematical operators like __eq__() you should maybe also mention

Thanks for your feedback, Levi. From the sound of it, I get the
impression that there might be better options out there.

Saw getbackboard.com the other day - looks like it might be a good
alternative. Would be perfect if it allowed you to give a public URL
to a board, but sadly you have to invite everyone individually,
