No developer can easily remember the hundreds of different functions, tags, options etc for a web language and documentation can be too much to read. That’s why cheat sheets exist because they provide a quick reference for all the common tags used.

Cheat sheets are helpful for beginners and advanced web developers who need help to remember syntax and they can be easily printed out or bookmarked for quick reference.

For this article I have compiled a list of 20 of the best cheat sheets available on the web for CSS, HTML, jQuery, Wordpress and PHP with links to the websites and the downloadable cheat sheets.
