About ActiveState Code

ActiveState Code (together with theActiveState Communitysite) is ActiveState's developer community site.Here we want to provideuseful resources to help developers usingdynamic languages and open web technologieslearn,share andget stuff done. ActiveState believes that open source dynamic languages area more productive way to program¹ and we want to promote their use.

Use dynamic languages and get more done. Enjoy!

Code Recipes

ActiveState Code Recipes is a resource for learning from andsharing code recipes — with a focus on dynamic languages and languagesused for web development. The recipes you'll find here highlight programmingbest practices and can be used directly in day-to-day tasks, as a source ofideas, or as a way to learn more about languages or libraries. We invite youto contribute code, comments, and ratings for recipes. The recipes are freelyavailable for review and use.
