About Drop-In Code

What is Drop-In Code?
Drop-In Code is an online library of code-snippets that can easily be dropped into any web or windows application. Although there will be notes and some explanation, the main point of the library is to be able to take some pre-written code, drop it into your application, make some modifications, and cut development time. It's about not re-inventing the wheel 100 times over. Instead, it's about taking what's been done before and improving on it in each implementation.

Why was Drop-In Code Created?
Drop-In Code was designed and developed for one reason, to help me remember code! Over the years I've gained some good experience in development, yet I find myself (more often than not) forgetting many of the fine details. I can remember all the core concepts and many of the technologies, but sometimes I'll forget a namespace that a certain API is located in or I'll forget a simple implementation as a solution to a common problem.

What I would normally do is search through code samples and applications that I've worked on, find the code I needed, copy it, then drop it into my new app. From there I would simply change a few lines of code and tailor it to my new app. Drop-in Code replaces my reliance on searching through applications. It centralizes as much of that code as possible for me. If it happens to help someone else along the way, then so be it. I don't mind sharing.
