There's no literate source linked to on that page. Just plain, normal, barely-commented C.
"There's no literate source linked to on that page. Just plain, normal, barely-commented C." The book by David Hanson is the literate program.
That's what I was trying to determine.
SQLite's source listing is great. I learned a lot about good C practices and documentation reading it.
If you like that style of C code, Tcl's is similar (and it's not a coincidence, as Dr. Hipp is part of the Tcl core team).
Any recommendations for php? I wrote a php/mysql web application for SaaS customers. I am looking at ways to improve performance/cache/error handling or simply write a better code.

I spent several years writing drivers for NT and I don't know which part of the NT kernel you were looking at. The parts I saw were an utter mess lacking any sort of elegance whatsoever. If there were two ways to implement something, one simple and the other one contrived, you can bet your MCSD certificate NT will be using the latter. The overall impression was that it was hacked together in the worst sense of the wo…
I'm not sure you can actually see the kernel outside the base OS team at Microsoft, or under a unique license. it is not included in MSDN or the DDK. Having worked on that team and having seen it for myself, it is truly elegant, concise, and very well written. I myself never touched it, and that is for the best. I probably wrote some of the crappy drivers for which you hold so much contempt.
One project I found fascinating reading a while back when I was working on graphics, is AGG. It's a vector graphics toolkit, a bit like Cairo, Quartz 2D or Java 2D. It uses a particular style of C++ - a mixture of template programming together with regular polymorphism - to build up a collection of rendering components. The components are almost Unix-like - you plug them together to build your customized rendering pi…

those help. if you can figure out the source code without the documentation at the agg site + those files, more power to you. but basically you are nuts.
Could anyone recommend something for Python? If something is out there for ruby, there's got to be at least one thing for python.

Any recommendations for Ruby/Rails projects?
For idiomatic Ruby and Rails stuff I have probably learned more from Rick Olson's stuff (http://github.com/technoweenie/) than any other single source. Sometimes I think he tends to be too clever for his own good, but the code is good to read for that reason even if simpler things are better in production.
Anyone can point to a good javascript code?
