When you want to highlight ruby-code snippets you will deal with the problem that the code, even when it is wrapped inside the {% highlight ruby linenos %}…{% endhighlight %} tags, it gets executed and you do not see the code snippet itself.

For my personal blog, which in based on Jekyll, I created a tag-area on the top of the homepage so that the visitors are able to navigate through the different articles in a tag-page by clicking on the tag that they are interested in. With this article I would like to present you the code of the tag-area:

<div class="well well-sm">Filter the articles:
    {% for tag in site.tags %}
        <a class="btn btn-warning" type="button" href="tags/{{ site.baseurl }}{{tag | first }}">
            {{ tag | first }} <span class="badge">{{ tag | last | size }}</span>
        </a>
    {% endfor %}
</div>

With this article I would like to present you six useful features of the 6.0 version of C#.

null conditional operator

Removes the need for checking for null values and thus we avoid the tedious if(... != null && ... != null ...) if conditions.

Highlighting your code-examples in your blog makes your articles simpler to read. When using Jekyll the “default” option for highlighting code is provided from the pygments plugin.

With this article I plan to give in a quick and simple way the most important ways to convert JavaScript from one value type to another. Type casting is most often referred as coercion. There are two types of coercion. Explicit and implicit.

• Explicit coercion is, most of the times, obvious to the programmer who reads a part of JavaScript code.
• Implicit coercion is done more secretly and is not always obvious to the programmer, if she has not used an implicitly coercion operation before.
