- Store Programming Code with a List of References -

If you a career software programmer and switch from one development platform to another, it should probably be important for you to be able to store your work such that you can find and retrieve it quickly. Of course, you want to classify code snippets into different development platforms. Thats what CodeBlue is for.

CodeBlue has reached the second overhaul after it was initially introduced in May, 2013.

- What’s new -

1. The application uses Regular Expression to identify group tags to highlight.
2. The application uses NSToken objects for group tags.
3. The user can import a text file with comma-separated strings to create a list of tags to highlight.
4. The user can now run a search with a key phrase across all groups.
