Embedding Github code into your Blogger blog

When I have thought about writing my own programming blog, it seems very easy to me I just have to login into Blogger using my gmail account. But in process of writing my first blog I  have faced a lots of problems like how to format my content how to insert images and a lots of things, But the major one is how to enter my my hand written well formatted code into my blog. So I have tried to just copy paste the code into Compose mode and also tried to embed it into HTML but I was not able to maintain the format of my code.

So have done some research over the net and found a lots of ways to do so there are lots of JS plugins to do so etc. But one way seems to be very cool and  easy to me is posting your code on Github Gist and then making reference from your blog. We should not confuse gist with git, both are separate things. Git is a popular source code management system while Gist is really an awesome way to share your well formatted code with anyone on any platform with just a javascript call, and below I am going to show you how to do that.

You can refer your complete gist repo or you can choose any file from your repo to do so. To do this first of all you need to create a Github account, it is very easy and you can found a lots of tutorials for that even on the official Github website. Then you need to make a gist repository for that you can also find tutorial on this link about gists.

Lets walk through below steps and share your github code on your blog

First of all you need to create a gist repository on e.g. this is one of my gist repo CustomSolrRepo.
you can create your Gist repo online on this link, all you need to do is just enter a filename with extension on top and then  add some code below and then click on create public gist, you can also create a secret gist if you want.




Now you need to copy the complete script tag which is just right to Embed dropdown box.



















And paste it in your blog, but you need to open your blog in HTML mode and you should paste it at the end after any tag. You might have created more than one file in your gist repository so to embed code of only one file into your you need to mention that file as argument inside the script tag e.g.

<script src="https://gist.github.com/njnareshjoshi/98eafbaaa55b919f551e.js?file=CustomSolrRepoApp.java"></script>

Same I am doing in blog here



And you can the output here


However when you will switch to Compose mode again you will not be able to see that but you can see that in Preview mode.

What is Variable Shadowing and Hiding in Java

Java allows us to declare a variable whenever we need it, We can categorize all our variables into 3 categories which have different-different scopes Instance Variables - Defined inside a class and have object level scope. Class Variables - Defined inside a class with static keyword, have class level scope common to all objects of the same class Local Variables - Defined inside a method or in any conditional block, have the block-level scope and only accessible in the block where it defined. What is Variable Shadowing Variable shadowing happens when we define a variable in a closure scope with a variable name and we have already defined a variable in outer scope with the same name. In other words, when a local variable has the same name as one of the instance variable, the local variable shadows the instance variable inside the method block. In the following example, there is an instance variable named x and inside method printLocalVariable(), we are shadowing it by the local ...

Java Cloning - Copy Constructor versus Cloning

In my previous article Java Cloning and Types of Cloning (Shallow and Deep) in Details with Example , I have discussed Java Cloning in details and answered questions about how we can use cloning to copy objects in Java, what are two different types of cloning (Shallow & Deep) and how we can implement both of them, if you haven’t read it please go ahead. In order to implement cloning, we need configure our classes to follow below steps Implement Cloneable interface in our class or its superclass or interface, Define clone() method which should handle CloneNotSupportedException (either throw or log), And in most cases from our clone() method we call the clone() method of the superclass. And super.clone() will call its super.clone() and chain will continue until call will reach to clone() method of the Object class which will create a field by field mem copy of our object and return it back. Like everything Cloning also comes with its advantages and disadvantages. However, Java c...

Why String is Immutable and Final in Java

While coding in any programming language we always require some predefined types which we can use to write the code and every programming language provides these types in its way e.g. Java provides primitive types ( int, long, char float etc) and reference types (custom types like Object, String, Thread ). For string manipulation, Java provides a class java.lang.String which gives us a way to create string objects and provides different behaviors to operate on those objects e.g. replace(), length() String name = "Naresh"; System.out.print(name.length()); System.out.print(name.isEmpty()); Whenever we talk about String class in Java we say it is i mmutable in nature and all string literals are stored in String Constant Pool (SCP) . Prior to Java 7 String Constant Pool belongs to Permanent Generation area of heap which means Garbage Collector will not touch it in normal scenarios. But from Java 7 onwards string constant pool is not part of Perm Gen but live with o...
