Q1: What is KingCode?
Answer: KingCode is the leading online resource and reference tool for program developers. KingCode allows a developer to find information relevant to his or her project quickly. KingCode staff have spent hundreds of hours creating and developing a powerful database-driven information warehouse of programming resources broken down by programming language.

The current programming languages supported are: C++, DHTML, HTML, Java and Java JDK, JavaScript, Perl and Rebol.

Q2: What is the best way to search for something?
Answer: In short, just type in exactly what you're looking for. Most of the resources that are indexed on KingCode are references for programming language.  This means that entering in a library or function name in question would be the best option. For more details, please go to Search Tips.

Q3: What if I can't find what I'm looking for?
Answer: If you perform a search and can not find any search results, try reducing the number of words in your search term. Focus on the key search terms. If the KingCode search engine has not found what you were looking for, then head over to the programming language's link (found on the top of each page and in the category column on the left hand side of the KingCode home page) and visit one of the various resource links provided on the right hand side.

If you ever find a valuable information resource/web-site that you think should be a part of the KingCode searchable resource database, please submit a suggestion with this quick form.

Q4: How do I get my web site listed on King Code?
Answer: There are currently two ways that your web site can be used on KingCode.  The first is as a resource link on the specific language page.  This is very straight-forward. However, KingCode carefully examines each web site URL submission/suggestion from top to bottom. The criteria that must be met can be found on the Add/Suggest Page link.

The second way your web site can be used on KingCode is to be spidered into the specific language index. So, for instance, if you have a web site dedicated to the language JavaScript, and you believe that your web site has valuable and well-organized information, it may be a candidate! This means that whenever a KingCode user searches for terms in the JavaScript language category, your web site content will be searched and results returned. Obviously, this is a fantastic way for your site to gain traffic and popularity; however, note that KingCode is just as, if not more stringent when it comes to screening possible site candidates for addition to the search index.  You can read more about this on the Add/Suggest Page link as well.

Q5: Where can I find a good book about programming, or a book about a specific programming language?
Answer: We will try our best to recommend books for various levels of programming knowledge. However, the best way to find books is by using our Barnes and Noble book search engine (which gives you millions of titles at your fingertips at great prices) or by clicking on any of our book title/review links throughout KingCode.

Q6: Which resources does KingCode currently index for each language?
Answer: The pool of resources/web-sites that KingCode indexes for each programming language is changing constantly for various reasons.  If you have a suggestion for a new web site resource that should be included into a language index, please visit the Add/Suggest Page.

Q7: What is an index?
Answer: An index is a component of a database that allows you to search quickly and accurately through large amounts of data. For instance, when you search for a word such as array within the C++ resource database index, KingCode already has the data organized by keyword allowing for a quick retrieval of matching search results.
