Pygmentizing your Rails app hosted on Heroku

Last week, I watched Ryan Bates’ Syntax Highlighting RailsCast and wanted to apply what I had just learned right away, using pygments.

As you might have noticed, the jQuery Rambling Slider homepage features the new syntax highlighting styling. I’ve spent great part of the day updating the blog posts to use this new syntax highlighting style, to stop relying on GitHub’s gists, but that’s another story.

Now, there are several ways to do this. There are a couple of gems out there, like the pygments.rb mentioned on the RailsCast, that are very helpful. I installed that gem locally and it worked like a charm, but when I tried to upload the changes to Heroku, the…

Version 0.4.2 of the Rambling Trie has been released!

```
trie = Rambling::Trie.create
(%w(some words and other stuff)).each |word|
  trie << word
end
```
You can do something like this:
```
trie.each do |word|
  puts "#{word} is included!"
end
```
As well as:
```
trie.any? { |word| word.include? 'x' }
trie.all? { |word| word.length > 0 }
```
And any other method included in Ruby core’s Enumerable module. Isn’t that cool!?

Enjoy!

As done with the jQuery Rambling Slider previously on this week, and as I promised on that post as well, the Rambling Trie now has its own homepage on ramblinglabs.com! Here’s the link:

Rambling Trie | A Ruby implementation of the Trie data structure

It features installation and usage steps as well as a contributing page, and includes the badges from various cool GitHub services (more on that later). It also has a brand new logo, inspired on the trie data structure (and other tree data structures) concept.

Go ahead and check it out!
