Reblogged Via: Front End Development Blog by Greg Babula Source: gregbabulaThis comprehensive primer on the internal operations of WebKit and Gecko is the result of much research done by Israeli developer Tali Garsiel. Over a few years, she reviewed all the published data about browser internals and spent a lot of time reading web browser source code.

A really badass jQuery plugin that allows you to create zoomable elements on your web page. They can also change the perspective, scale, and rotation of the entire layout as well. I have yet to see how this handles raster images, but a great resource nonetheless. They have documentation and in-page demos on the site, but here’s a list of sites the page provides using the plugin effectively:

Aza Raskin prototyping with Zoomooz and showing how to live code in front of seventy-five people.
A photo gallery using Zoomooz for Antoine Giraldo.
A zooming comic experiment by Richard Milewski.
A virtual educational collage tool for classrooms that uses Zoomooz by Opinsys. Just create a new “pahvi”, add some objects and browse in “presentation mode”.
Simple HTML Slides by Richard Milewski uses Zoomooz.
A (slightly outdated) Zoomooz tutorial on Design Shack has a nice thumbnail gallery example.

orI get animated for the big 2,000.
So it’s my 2,000th post and I have been working hard to do something special. So while I’m on this experimentation kick, I decided put my CSS3 skills to the work and create a simple animation using an old illustration of myself from my 600th blog post. You’re definitely gonna want to see this in Webkit or Mozilla browsers only. Getting the delay times right was tricky because I had to set the start for all the elements off the page (which leaves no safety net for older browsers not supporting animation).
Also, I had to make use of the “animation-fill-mode” property using the value “forwards”. This makes sure that once the animation has completed, it uses the CSS properties of the last frame as the new values.
Anyway, thanks to all my new follower and veteran followers alike. This blog does not feel like a chore thanks to your readership. Anyway, check out the animation, and use the social bar to share it to all your homies.

orHTML5 Scorecard for the New iPad, and it isn’t all good news.
This seems like a really big deal for mobile app developers so you guys especially need to read this.
Reblogged Via: What is HTML5? Source: sencha.comwhatishtml5:
Sencha has released a scorecard update for the new Apple iPad, and the results are mixed.In a nutshell, the new iPad is a mixed bag. The new iPad’s display is incredibly fine grained and web site text now appears unbelievably sharp. On the other hand, the browser experience is noticeably slower with stutters and redraws on complex web pages and web apps. Images that haven’t been updated for retina displays now appear blurry in contrast to the sharp text. iOS 5.1 doesn’t offer many new features, and it does take a step backwards. For hybrid apps (web apps packaged in a native shell), iOS 5.1 breaks localStorage and WebSQL persistence, so developers can’t rely on them anymore.For HTML5 web developers, there is definitely some bad news here. The loss of persistent local storage is terrible for companies with hybrid apps. Sure, there are some workarounds, but Apple has made things very painful. Additionally, the step backward in performance isn’t something any web developer is happy to hear.
We’re usually effusive about the latest mobile browser and hardware from Apple. But this latest offering is a mixed bag at best and a disappointment at worst. For the last few years, we’ve grown accustomed to Apple leapfrogging the competition each year with superior hardware and even better HTML5 browser software. The latest set of Apple hardware has regressions compared to the iPad 2 including slower JavaScript performance. And with iOS 5.1, the removal (or breaking) of features that developers have trusted is a real letdown. While we believe that the iPad is still the best tablet in the market, it’s the first time a new Apple product hasn’t categorically outshone its predecessor. Particularly for business applications, there is no reason to choose the new iPad over the iPad 2.
