ABSTRACT
The previous chapters in this book have covered the many aspects that you need to think about as you develop code to solve the problem at hand, how to make it perform well on current machines, and so on. In this chapter, we will make a complete change of direction and assume that you have written a useful and valuable code. You have tested it and found that it does what you want, and you are proud of what you have accomplished. Now what? If you want other people to use your code, you can post it on your web site, e-mail it to friends and colleagues, post a note on a mail list, or talk about it at a conference. And people will start asking you if they can have a copy of your code. That is wonderful! Your work will help others, and they may add to it and make it better.
