By academic standards a Cheat sheet can be regarded as a concise set of notes used for quick reference that is used by students without the instructor’s knowledge to cheat on a test. However, at higher levels of education where rote memorization is not as important as in basic education, students may be permitted to consult their own notes during the exam ( which is not considered cheating ).
Many computer applications, for example, have cheat sheets included in their documentation, which list keystrokes or menu commands needed to achieve specific tasks to save the user the effort of digging through an entire manual to find the keystroke needed to, for example, move between two windows.
Web-based cheat sheets (of the legitimate variety), such as a reference to terms, commands, or symbols, have become extremely common. There are Cheat Sheets for nearly every programming language which list a plethora of various functions that may be overly-complex to memorize, thus having a Cheat sheet with a list of such accessible commands can prove to be a time saver for most developers. For your coding needs we have compiled a few of these Cheat Sheets for all of you Code Lovin’ Geeks in order to aid you along your web development endeavors. Enjoy!

Is it really worth to have a cheat sheet nowadays? It takes less time to search Google for a function rather than scan a cheat sheet for that same function (which parameters it take, what it returns, etc…) Note that I’m assuming that the cheat sheet is already open – if it’s hidden in a folder somewhere and you need to open it up everytime you need it, then it’s a whole new story!
