Annotated CoffeeScript Grammar

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen code annotated like this before:

screen cap

It’s perfect.

The HTML is <table> based. Each segment is an anchored <tr> with the left cell holding the annotations and the right cell holding the code. I’d probably flip them around but the overall effect is wonderful.

The Programming Aphorisms of Strunk and White

“Of course, Strunk and White, as the book is commonly called, has nothing to do with software (it was written in 1935) and everything to do with writing: grammar, composition, and style for users of the English language. But in its 100 short pages this book has more to say about the craft of software than many books you’ll find in the ‘Computing’ section of your local bookstore. All you have to do is replace a few key words throughout the text and presto! Pearls of software development wisdom, delivered in near-perfect English.”
