Search for source code examples in O'Reilly books

   An FYI regarding a beta website that allows you to search the 2.6
million lines of source code examples in nearly 700 books published
by O'Reilly and Associates:

   http://labs.oreilly.com/code/

   This can be a useful way to find simple techniques for solving a
programming or scripting problem, or just to refresh your memory
about how a language feature is used. And using this site offers
more focused searches than using a general purpose Internet search
engine, like Google, for the same purpose.

   A great many programming, scripting, and regular expressions
languages are covered by O'Reilly books; at a glance, JavaScript, C#,
Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, awk, sed, and ASP are among them.

P.S. A caveat: as a beta, it's always possible this search service
may not stick around for the long term, or may become a for-fee
service.
