Is that the Comcast Sports South logo being used for CSS? CSS -> http://www.csssports.com/

I think I know why. It's the first google images result that is even remotely logo-friendly.

Why are you encouraging deprecated mysql_* functions for PHP? overapi.com/php/

Agreed. No note of PDO or even mysqli anywhere, which is pretty unfortunate since novice programmers starting with PDO would be building safer apps.

Slightly off topic, but my rule of thumb: If your project is too big for Sqlite, it's big enough for Postgres. If it's too small for Postgres, it's small enough for Sqlite.

MySQL doesn't absolutely need to fit anywhere in the picture, but of course, this is precluding any host complications for existing projects.

What I want to know is why the icon for regular expressions is the Fedex (or in this case, Regex) logo.

Sure is. I wondered if that was on purpose.

Going to go out on a limb here and say it was intended as a cute little joke.

http://overapi.com/religion/ Erm, alright. I was looking for Redis :)

When time travel is achieved, many of us will need this when our future programmer selves come back to retaliate.

Useful in a pinch, but I would not recommend using these. Make your own. If you plan on using the language, making your own cheat sheet is the best way to learn it. By the time you are able to make one, you know what you use, what you always forget, and what is obscure, but important enough to need a quick refresher.

What? Did you even look through at how comprehensive the list of APIs they have online here is? I'm a full-time developer . No way I'm going to waste my time making a cheat-sheet for functions I may only write a few calls to when I could be doing productive coding. There's just too many APIs I need to use.

This is an awesome resource.

It should be on github pages or something similar, no ads, easy to fork and contribute.

It looks like it is on github pages: https://github.com/overthecs/overthecs.github.com I don't mind the ads. If its a useful tool, he can feel free to monetize on it.

I just hope he can keep it up to date. Some cheatsheets/APIs can change considerably over subsequent releases.
