p2pnet.net News:- Looking for open source code?

Look no further.

Koders has launched an optimized search engine meant to give developers a way to find source code examples and new open source projects they can use in their applications.

“The idea is that if I’m a Java developer and need to build a shopping cart for my website instead of reinventing the wheel, I can tell the search engine the type of application I want and limit my search to Java software," The Register’s Ashlee Vance quotes a spokesman as saying.

Showing the type of information Koders brings up, Vance lists these Hibernate and Apache server examples. “You’ll find the code itself, number of lines in the application and a vague development cost estimator that pegs the value of the software based on how many hours it would typically take to create a similar package,” he says, adding:

“The Koders launch seems to have slipped under the radar of the open source software crowd at large, and it will be interesting to see what the noble geeks will make of the search engine once they get their chocolate-covered fingers on it.”
