Browse, search, or tap a word in the code to open its article. • SQL: 202 queries (JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types); more than half run on a real practice database. • Run in the app: the output appears directly below the code, no IDE or compiler needed. More than 85% of examples run. Requires an internet connection; up to 80 runs a day. • Search covers the code itself, not just titles: type a fragment you remember and find the example. • Edit examples or add your own; your changes and additions are saved in the app. • Everything except running code works offline: examples, reference, search, favorites. • Easy on the eyes: light and dark themes, your choice of font and size, line numbers, and long lines that wrap instead of spilling off the screen. Examples are curated from professional sources and checked before release: the code works and is easy to follow. Built by a developer for developers. The CodePro project has been in active development since 2015.
