Google's search engine for code (i.e computer program source code) is gonna save me a ton of time. It's great for finding useful snippets of code and learning new techniques.

For example, Google Code can help find sample you can learn from. Let's say you want to know how to import an XSL file. Using a regular expression(!), you can search in .xsl files with something like this: import file:\.xsl$

I'm not sure, but I don't think regexes are usable in any other Google search engine. So that's kinda cool.

It makes me wonder if Google and the internet will eliminate the need for programmers to go to college?
