Last week, Krugle announced it will provide search functionality for the Yahoo Developer Network (YDN). Krugle is a code search engine for programmers and IT developers.

Overall, the YDN is a centralized resource for the programmer community that offers open-cource code and APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and Web Services that make it easier to design and develop new applications that run on various Yahoo services.

The Yahoo Developer Network hosts the publicly-available code and documentation for Yahoo-owned properties.

It also provides tutorials, code samples and other resources for developers.

The Yahoo's new Developer Network can now take advantage of Krugle’s code search engine and interface to allow developers working with Yahoo APIs and data to find, save and share code written in six different languages:

ActionScript

JavaScript

.Net

PHP

Python

Ruby

Additionally, the YDN will provide developers with contextual information as they browse the code, such as associated documentation and dependencies, bug reports, commentary, user-tagged code and search results that can be easily shared among other colleagues in the developer community.

Steve Larsen, CEO of Krugle said “one of the reasons for Yahoo's success has been the company’s strong belief in opening up its products for third party and outside developers.”

He added “by publishing open APIs and helpful documentation, Yahoo creates an active and engaged community, and further encourages developers to build new applications which utilize Yahoo’s technology in innovative ways."

"With this partnership, Krugle will make it easier than ever to leverage the true potential of Yahoo’s open APIs and Web Services,” said Larsen.
