n. [from amateur electronics and radio] A book of small code segments that
|
|
|
|
|
the reader can use to do various magic things in programs. Cookbooks,
|
|
|
|
|
slavishly followed, can lead one into voodoo programming , but are useful
|
|
|
|
|
for hackers trying to monkey up small programs in unknown languages. This
|
|
|
|
|
function is analogous to the role of phrasebooks in human languages.
