Where to Place My Project: Code Hosting Platforms

By Jagoda Górska

Have this book on hand that you can always look at whenever you forget something! The book lists code hosting platforms, but not only. Social software recommendations websites, markdown files and free licenses are also discussed.

The book is meant to be a help when we don't know:
1) where to put your project or develop it
2) where to put information about it and how to get reviews
3) what markdown files to put in the project root directory
4) what license to choose for the project (and what to watch out for when using someone else's code under that license)

The book in its chapters contains a lot of information about supported tools, advantages of using, limits of using, supported foreign languages, supported programming languages, written books, supported operating systems, payments. In addition, the book includes numerous references to payment sites, as finding them is sometimes difficult. All in one!

I am almost certain that you will learn at least one new thing by reading this book, no matter how long you have been in the IT industry.

Preface

This book came about because, in my opinion, the collection of pages included here was missing or lacking certain information. Another reason was the fear of the possible disappearance of such collections, because after all, these are websites that can cease to exist at any time for any reason. In addition, it was good to combine several different categories related to software in one book.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone who wants to learn more about websites, with the help of which they can do a nice job related to their software development.

How to read this book?

All the names in each chapter are arranged alphabetically to make it easier to find them in the future. Under each name there should be an actual link to the official website that you can click on directly, as all links in this book are interactive.

1. Places for project development

You've probably wondered more than once where is the best place to put your first project. Recall how many times you searched for results in a search engine or asked questions on internet forums. That's what this chapter is here to help you with, but also to help myself. Having a handy reference that I can refer to is a great convenience, rather than having to dig through the internet looking for a blog article that contains it and praying it still exists.

What I was able to find can be divided into four categories and according to them these technologies will be discussed:

- code hosting platforms

- blockchain platforms

- container management platforms

- social software recommendations webpages

However, blockchain platforms, container management platforms, and online tools will be discussed in the next book.

Code hosting platforms

Below are examples of code hosting platforms that I have found. Such platforms are designed to help especially with the continuous development of the project. So you can develop software from start to finish together with your team, company or yourself. Of course, a fully developed application can also be published. It is not uncommon for such platforms to contain additional tools, thanks to which you will focus the attention of potential users even more. Such tools can be for example an option to create a website for your application, or the ability to use Scrum Board, so that users know what you are currently working on and at what stage of work. Of course there are many more such tools and there will be more in the future. I will not discuss the details of how to set up the platform or tell you about their developers, because at this point you are probably not interested in that, because you decided to reach for this book. The entries below do not include prices for individual accounts because it is always subject to change, which is why references have been made. Also, below are titles of books and/or articles about them. None of these books are advertised by me here. Be sure to check out the reviews and read the free samples on a few sites.

Please, keep one thing in mind while reading the list of platforms. If you don't find information in one of the listed platforms and you do in another, it doesn't mean that the site doesn't have that option. The same goes for the next section.

If you want to see tables comparing such platforms online, you can look at the wikipedia page. However, it does not contain all the current solutions that currently exist on the Internet. It mainly contains the most well-known ones. If such a table is enough for you to decide on your choice because you mainly care about something most well-known, then you can stop looking now. If not, then I encourage you to read the rest of the chapter as there will be more discussion of details to make a more accurate choice based on your preference.

General

Do you know why I listed many possible solutions instead of just the most important ones? Imagine a situation in which your beloved platform is currently the target of a massive network attack or has started modifying its terms of service that would not support most developers. If you didn't know there were
