Needs an internet connection. • Edit examples and add your own; they stay in the app and are always at hand. • SQL in its own section: 201 queries against a practice database. • Search looks inside the code itself, not just the titles: remember a fragment and you will find the example. • Everything except running works offline. No account needed. • A section on what changed between language versions: 891 changes across 151 versions, old and new code side by side. • Keyword and function reference: over 3,200 articles you can browse and search like the examples.
