Google Labs has recently announced the unveiling of its’ newest creation – Google Code Search. Code Search indexes publicly available code – which is then available to you via their search engine. This should be very helpful for all you custom programmers out there.
I tried out the simple query of ArcGIS and got back a couple of interesting results. One of which being a Python script for exporting the ArcGIS table out to mySQL. Right above that result was a script written in C that creates cartograms.
Have any better ideas or search strings that will maximize the use of Google Code Search in GIS? Please share them in the comments section.
