JSON

RFC 7159

data interchange format … a text format for the serialization of structured data

Implementations that generate only objects or arrarys where a JSON text is called for will be interoperable in the sense that all implementations will accept these as conforming JSON texts.

A JSON parser transforms a JSON text into another representation…

git

• delete a file from git repo

$ git rm file1.txt
$ git commit -m "remove file1.txt"

Code highlighting

Pygments

Lexers

http://pygments.org/docs/lexers/#lexers

quick start for Jekyll

install Pygments

$ pip install Pygments

In the config.yaml file inside the root directory of your jekyll website, set pygments to true

highlighter: pygments

Usage

{% highlight language %}

{% endhighlight %}

Code highlighting for Keynote presentations

step 1

$ brew install highlight

step 2

highlight the source code in RTF format and copy the result of that operation to your Mac’s clipboard:

$ highlight -O rtf fw.sql | pbcopy
$ highlight -S python  -O rtf fw.py | pbcopy

Step 3

Paste into your slide in Keynote. Keynote will create a new text box with your highlighted code. You can adjust the width as needed, and adjust the font size with cmd+ and cmd-.
