I’m excited to release not one, but two brand new Premium tutorials and screencasts this week, as part of our birthday celebration. Whether PHP or JavaScript is your forte, we’ve got you covered! Learn how to build a neat code-snippet box, and how to paginate data with CodeIgniter!

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.”

Glad I am a Plus member, nice tuts!
I can’t download jQuery Code-Snippet Box.. It gives some xml with errors
Just an extra space in the link. It’s working now. :)
Here it says that the end of The imac competition is 21 of august?
should’t that be 22 of august?
Rik
Im about to check it out now
Congrats Jeffrey,
Here’s a request:
“A tutorial on color selection for web site,component designing(photoshop), the tinge that you create in background.Am really astonished to see the depth they create on screen”.
Thanks.
I’m really considering getting into the Plus program.
Happy Birthday! :)
I think that jquery code-snippet is quite useless without a syntax highlight
And that will be coming in Dan’s follow-up! :)
Cool
Jeff,
CI Paging was really usefull, one more suggesion, why dont you guys host the Vedio files in a FTP? taking hell allot of time to download!
It’s fairly quick for me. I don’t see why it would be slow for others unless there download speeds are fairly slow, our a lot of people are downloading at the same time.
hmm, i am in Sri lanka, and the speed is only 512Kbps :(
i mean the download is sooo slow, its comes arround 16Kbps
I’m starting to wonder whether this “birthday celebration” is more about trying to sell as much stuff as possible.
Can they not push their products once a year?
I don’t mind the odd push, it seems very worth while and I keep promising myself I will signup at some stage (maybe at the end of this month).
But to say its a celebration and then to try and sell you something..I would have gone about it in a different way.
Hey Stephen, this is just the lead-up to our actual birthday (the 21st Australian time) when we will be giving away a massive bundle of free stuff to all Tuts+ readers. I think you’re going to like the gift!
I take what I said back!
Todays (20th august) bundle is outstanding!!
Just became a tuts+ member. So this is great news! more jQuery tuts are welcome by the way..
And I’m seeing that Jeff had read the feedback from a few posts back by posting more CodeIgniter tuts..
Great tuts and happy birthday!
There seem to be a lot of fuss over CodeIgniter. I think I need to join the band wagon try it out, whatever it is. Let me tell you though, I’m pretty excited to get started on that jQuery box!
You know what we need more of is Kohana tuts. There are not enough of them out there. And in my experience, KO blows the socks off of CI.
If you would like me to write one, I am more than willing.
Dude, you guys are awesome. I logged into plus this morning to get the link to the birthday bash thing and saw the tutorials and had no idea what was going on.
Keep up the amazing work, and happy 3rd again! :D
Just a suggestion: Could Net tuts upload a few CakePHP or Yii tutorials? Im sure there are a lot of developers who use them that visit this site, and I myself would be extremely interested in some tutorials on for the two popular frameworks.
what happened to the results of the PHP/JS contest ?
