Free Code? Where?
Posted by Jim on November 20th, 2003


Hi, i have taken a few programming classes already. I think i have
some basic understanding in C/C++/Java/Scheme. However, all i have
done so far are writing small console programs. I wanted to take a
look at the code of large softwares to see how they look like, how
real programmer do their job. So, can anyone point me a link or
something? Thanks in advance!

Wasn't it the Planet of the Apes movie where we hear something like, "Careful.
You may not like what you find."

In addition to the links provided you may want to bear in mind that
there is a great distance between the typically small textmode
programs you deal with when learning a language to what you see in
more substantial professional level projects.

It's fun to, say, download the source for Quake but it'll get very
complicated very quickly when you try and follow it. It can even take
longer to understand what's going on in a larger project that it it
does to learn the essentials of a language. Do so for interest but
perhaps focus on smaller projects for learning, at least at first.
