Pick your top 2-3 projects that would have relevance to the position you are applying for (i.e. you can probably leave off a low-level C project if you are applying for a Rails gig). Put these in a section called "Selected Technical Projects". Include the general date you worked on them (Summer 2010, Winter 2009, etc) and a link to the code/demo. Then write a small description for each, ideally 2-3 short sentences. I like to have one sentence be "HR Friendly" and explain the technologies you used ("Built my own blog engine using ASP.NET MVC, MySQL and jQuery") and then one line about what I learned or why the project matters ("I built this project to learn MVC principles and learn about client-side Javascript" or "The code has been used by 50 other people to build their own blogs"). You should be including the link to your portfolio/github anyways as part of your general information. Make sure that the projects you list are easy to find on your personal site and there you can go into more detail, put screenshots, etc.
