Planet Source Code
A GitHub archive of VBA/VB6 code samples and articles from the defunct Planet Source Code repository website.
What is Planet Source Code?
Planet Source Code Index is a GitHub repository that archives code samples, articles, and tutorials from the original Planet Source Code website, which was a popular code repository that closed in 2023. It primarily preserves VBA and VB6 content, serving as a historical resource for developers working with legacy Visual Basic technologies. The project organizes submissions by world, category, author, and includes a Hall of Fame section highlighting the best content.
Developers working with legacy Visual Basic technologies (VBA/VB6) who need reference code samples, tutorials, or historical programming examples. Also valuable for researchers and historians interested in programming culture and code preservation.
Provides access to thousands of code samples and tutorials that would otherwise be lost after the original website's closure. Offers structured organization and search functionality through GitHub, making it easier to find specific examples compared to web archives.
