The definition of an Examplet

What is the meaning of an examplet? As described by Markus Grabert & Derek Bridge, examplet consists of two parts: the snippet of source code, and a statement of goal in free text. Moreover, a statement of goal usually associated with application notes. An "example", on the other hand, can be regarded as incomplete "Examplet", either the "snippet" is incompleted or without a statement of goal.

Examplet Center

The purpose of setting up the Examplet Center is to provide a place for keeping examplets and examples that I have written for different purposes.

In order to facilitate a fast selection, a HowTo has been built for searching the examplet.

Since the examplet center is still under development, please visit frequently to learn more about the progress of the examplet center
