I also like https://learnxinyminutes.com for when I need to understand some code in an unfamiliar language. That site also accepts contributions from anyone via pull request on GitHub.

Learn X in Y Minutes is also my go to site for dealing with code in an unfamiliar language. It's managed to get me through learning Ruby and Coffeescript on the job, as well as learning PHP for university. It's a pity that nobody has done one for SQL yet, I would've thought it would be in high demand.

Also helped me a lot when I was learning Javascript from Codecademy. It introduced me to Eloquent Javascript book and Mozilla Developers Network.

Impressive until you get to C++ and it turns into a random hodgepodge of 404s or really weak references (no pun intended). Also, this same cheat sheet has been shared on HN 14 times now. Not a bad thing but interesting none the less.

It still gets to the front page most of the time.

Pretty neat, but the first thing I looked for was how to open a file in Python and it wasn't there. I'm guessing it's because the "File" column only displays methods on the file object, and open is a built-in function. I can see how this might be useful when context-switching between different programming languages.

If you like this sort of thing (and have a Mac), you'll probably enjoy Dash. It's particularly great to load up on anything you feel you might need before heading towards flaky international internet access for a while. https://kapeli.com/dash

DevDocs is a great alternative for those of us that don't use Macs. Works fully in the browser, even with no network, which is kinda cool. http://devdocs.io/offline

Wow it got really lots of new stuff since I last checked! The offline option sounds cool if you're working on a laptop while commuting etc.
