1. How to Create a jQuery Code-Snippet Box

“In this tutorial we’re going to be creating a code-snippet box that displays example code on web pages in an attractively formatted and easy to read way, much like what you see here on Nettuts. Code-snippet preview boxes like this are often made as WordPress plugins, but we’ll see how we can do the same thing with just a little jQuery and CSS.

We can add all of the expected features such as line-numbering and line striping, and all of the usual tools such as viewing the code as plain text and printing it in a printer-friendly manner. The following screenshot shows the kind of thing that we’ll end up with by the end of the tutorial:”

2. Easy Pagination with CodeIgniter

“In this Nettuts+ Premium tutorial we are going to learn how to use CodeIgniter’s Pagination Class to paginate our blogs. Once we have firm understanding of how to load, configure and use CodeIgniter’s Pagination Class, we’ll learn how to use jQuery to make our page navigation dynamic. We’ll examine part of jQuery’s AJAX functionality and demonstrate how to use it in conjunction with CodeIgniter’s Pagination Class. At the end of this tutorial you should have a solid fundamental understanding of how to paginate data in CodeIgniter using jQuery. You should also be able to implement these techniques into your own CI blog system with ease.”
