HTML5 Video – Attributes and Events

seangw — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:13:10 +0000

When working with the new HTML5 video tag, the official documentation is very confusing. We just want a list of attributes and events! I ran across an excellent resource, HTML 5 Video – DOM Attributes and Events at chipwreck. From the post (this is incomplete, please go to the source for a full list): Display [...]

Adobe Giving up on Mobile Flash, going HTML5

seangw — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:25:28 +0000

Woke up to read that Adobe said it’s stopping development on mobile Flash, and refocusing on HTML5. It’s bittersweet for me. A quote from Adobe: Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will [...]

iPhone 4S: How’d Apple Make that Site?

seangw — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:21:58 +0000

Apple has a pretty cool web page for the iPhone 4S. It’s not something you would expect to see on a web site. When I first saw it, I had assumed they were all separate images being animated one at a time. I know it had to be CSS3 doing the transitions, but didn’t realize quite how [...]

Windows 8: The Death of Flash?

seangw — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:54:42 +0000

Apple and Microsoft both have a thing against Flash. Most of my clients ask for jQuery or other non-Flash alternatives (and so far, I haven’t ever really missed Flash). Now it sounds like Windows 8 will officially not support browser plugins in IE10. A huge push for HTML5 and CSS3 by Microsoft, we may also [...]

Roger McNamee: Speech on future of the web, and high tech

seangw — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 13:25:05 +0000

I’m usually not a fan of the opinions of investors, but I think Roger McNamee, of Elevation Partners, hits on quite few good points. Business Insider has some good bullets from the video, but watch the video: Some ideas I agree with/find intersting in the video include: Shift in search technology requirements The greater focus [...]

iPhone 5, Microsoft, Javascript, Firefox and jQuery

seangw — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 06:34:04 +0000

It’s been a long day (as I’m up at 2am), but lots has happened that has almost passed me by. I’ve already announced on this blog that Firefox 5 was released today, and jQuery Mobile Beta 1 is out (actually released yesterday). Today two other news items crossed my eye, the iPhone 5 and Microsoft’s [...]

Adobe Publishes Flash FLA to HTML5 Converter

seangw — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 15:57:21 +0000

Don’t get too excited, it doesn’t do most of the good stuff such as actionscript, filters, sound, strokes … the list of “unsupported” goes on and on. It is, however, nice to see Adobe embracing HTML5 as a standard, and moving beyond the Flash / HTML5 games. Adobe Labs published Wallaby: “Wallaby” is the codename [...]
