Awesome Plugin

Due to the huge “geek-factor” associated with my blog, you can expect many snippets of code. I found this awesome plugin called wp-syntax that actually formats it and allows you to see colored syntax!

I love colored syntax when coding. Why? Aside from making it easier to read, its actually a VERY useful tool! Too many times, I’ve been able to fix my code before compiling/running, because the syntax I wrote wasn’t colored. I’d think to myself,

Wait a minute, how come this variable isn’t getting colored? I must of made a mistake somewhere!

Then I’m able to fix it right way. So awesome. Now, here’s hello world in many languages… with color support!

Python

     print "hello world!"

Java

      System.out.println("hello world!");

Javascript

     alert("hello world!");

Visual Basic

     MsgBox("hello world!")

C

     printf("hello world!");

C#

     System.Console.WriteLine("hello world!");

Scheme (one of my personal favourites!)

      (display "hello world!")

PHP

     <?php
         echo "Hello, world!";
     ?>

So awesome..
