It’s well known that C/C++ languages are the most dominant programming languages around.

As
I mentioned in the previous post "Top 10 best applications written in C/C++" that
most of the big softwares, operating systems, games and other scientific tools and utilities are
developed in C/C++. In this post, I have found 50 outstanding websites and web pages providing
source codes for and programs written in C/C++. This list provides direct links to programming
source codes along with their small description.

I have tried to include the best C/C++ source code websites. This is not a complete list so you can
suggest me any links which you think is missing and I will welcome your suggestions to further
enhance this list.
