DevCheatSheet: More Useful Free Reference Cards

If you liked QuicklyCode — a collection of cheat sheets that you can download, print out and pin up next to your monitor for handy reference — you’re going to love DevCheatSheet, an even larger collection of some 1,600 free cheat sheets and reference cards in various formats, gathered from all over the web.

Like QuicklyCode, DevCheatSheet is an ad-supported site that’s primarily aimed at developers, hence the “Dev” in the title, and the tagline “Cheat sheets for developers.” It has a huge number developer-friendly categories, including most of the major programing languages, operating systems, databases and frameworks. But it also has useful cheat sheets for many topics that non-developers will find useful, such as trigonometry, telephone country codes, color codes, social media, Google Docs, Photoshop, MS Office, Skype, Twitter and more. If you’re not a developer, it’s worth perusing the categories listed and as there are plenty of useful sheets hidden by the sheer number of highly technical topics.

While DevCheatSheet’s collection does appear to be larger than QuicklyCode’s, it doesn’t have its competitor’s user ratings and comments system, so it will be harder to quickly identify out-of-date or incorrect information, which can always be an issue in cheat sheets scavenged from the web. Bearing that in mind, though, if you’re looking for a reference guide on nearly any technical topic (and on plenty of non-technical ones, too), it’s highly likely you’ll find something useful at DevCheatSheet.
