Highlight.js is another code highligher. It’s a bit more detailed than Google Code Prettify and pays for this in size. You can combat this by tailoring exactly what languages you want to highlight. I’m currently using this to highlight code on various pages throughout my site. Check it out.
I’ve been playing with code highlighting with my site for a while now, and I found two that worked pretty well for what I wanted. [Google Code Prettify][0] is the first of these.

It’s a web based tool that allows you to create your own responsive template. With the importance of content flexibility on the web, this is definitely worth checking out.
I humorously call Backbone a MVCn, which is shorthand for Model-View-Collection. There is no traditional controller as other robust JS MVCs state they have. The Collection being, a collection of Backbone Models (super relational-pimped objects, naturally).
I’ve been thinking for some time that the internet has needed more @duckbox on the internet. Fortunately he has oblidged this wish with the first in a series of articles on using backbone.js. Chris knows his development stuff, so his blog is definitely one worth following.
Simply Written is a service aimed at allowing authors to take control of their books in the digital age.
