I love how you can hover your mouse over certain lines of code and it highlights a paragraph below that explains something about it, and vice versa.

Thanks for noticing!

Fun fact: I originally coded that "by hand," i.e. manipulating the DOM in pure JavaScript. Then I decided to rewrite it in jQuery, which I had heard about but never used. Then I realized that I will never voluntarily write JavaScript without jQuery, ever again.

Nice work, this is probably the nicest looking technical material I've ever seen (but then I'm a sucker for nice clean typography).

I also love how he uses the "Etc" ligature. This feels exceptionally well-done.

I am, in fact, particularly proud of that. 3.5% of my (compressed) CSS is devoted to using the best available ampersand. http://simplebits.com/notebook/2008/08/14/ampersands.html
