"I recently released a new software developed with Qt 4 (this summer I took a chance to use qt and really enjoyed this wonderful framework): QSource-Highlight - a Qt interface for GNU Source-Highlight. You can highlight your code on the fly, and have the highlighted output in all the formats supported by source-highlight (e.g., HTML, LaTeX, Texinfo, etc.).

"GNU Source-highlight 2.9 has been released. It is available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/src-highlite/ and mirrors of that site (see list of mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html). GNU Source-highlight, given a source file, produces a document with syntax highlighting..." -- via http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.announce/browse_thread/thread/19d8343...

Perl script to ping, check ports and create a CGI page report. This time written a bit more complicated than necessary to highlight some uses of Perl.

In this group test Mayank Sharma of Linux Voices looks at five humble text editors that are more than capable of heavy-lifting texting duties. They can highlight syntax and auto-indent code just as effortlessly as they can spellcheck documents. You can use them to record macros and manage code snippets just as easily as you can copy/paste plain text.

Higher-Order Perl is about functional programming techniques in Perl. It's about how to write functions that can modify and manufacture other functions. That way your code is more flexible and more reusable.

After describing the nature and importance of source code for business-oriented readers, the case is made for learning programming with Python. A plethora of free on-line resources for getting started programming in Python are provided.

The Falcon Programming Language is a typeless language born for rapid development, prototyping, and ready-made integration. We may also describe Falcon as a "scripting" language with features that enable the programmer to create even complex multi-threaded applications.

In many cases, adding a graphical interface to Python scripts means getting your hands dirty with TKinter or other GUI programming kits. This exercise is usually reserved for users who have already acquired decent Python programming skills, as it requires some serious code wizardry.

Everyone knows that Digg is a hugely popular social news website where like-minded folks gather and flame each other to death. But if you're a Digg user and want to flex your coding skills to get a little more from the site, we've got the perfect code project for you: we're going to show you how to write a Python app to read Digg submissions and geo-locate them using GeoIP.
