HTML5 for Web Designers: Book Review
Publié sur google.com
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/nettuts/~3/hFZR7nqEYng/
HTML5 is all the buzz right now: some people think you need to wait until it’s “complete” to use it, while others are pushing the envelope and using what the browsers are supporting right now. If you’re not following the HTML5 hype and aren’t familiar with what’s so exciting, today’s book review will give you a great source to turn to: “HTML5 for Web Designers.
What’s It About? It should be obvious what this book is about: HTML5. However, that’s a broad, tangential topic. More specifically, HTML5 for Web Designers is supposed to be a super-condensed, easy-reading version of the HTML5 spec, with a huge scoop of practicality stirred in. I’ve included a few quotes in this review so you can get an idea of what it’s all about.
Who Wrote It?
HTML5 for Web Designers was penned (well, probably typed) by the brilliant Jeremy Keith. If you’re not familiar with Jeremy Keith, you’ve been missing a lot on the web. He’s an Irish web developer, the technical director at Clearleft, a web development firm in Brighton, England. He’s done a lot of work with Microfomats; for more by Jeremy, you should really check out his blog, Adactio. Mr. Keith was interviewed by Dan Benjamin and Jeffrey Zeldman on the Big Web Show, talking about why the book was written, why Jeremy was chosen to write it, and a lot of other fun stuff. Listening to that podcast, you’ll agree that Jeremy Keith was definitely the right guy to write this book. If you’ve never read anything by Jeremy Keith before, then a small piece of your web-developer self has yet to be born. Nothing in this book could be more practically explained. The website says it well:
In this brilliant and entertaining user’s guide, Jeremy Keith cuts to the chase, with crisp, clear, practical examples, and his patented twinkle and charm.
You have to love all the fun quips Mr. Keith sprinkled in, from the subtle “an array of programmers” to the more obvious “If you ever use the autoplay attribute in this way, I will hunt you down.”
What’s In The Book?
The table of contents shows what exactly you’ll read in this book:
A Brief History of Markup The Design of HTML5 Rich Media Web Forms 2.0 Semantics Using HTML5 Today
Chapter 1: A Brief History of Markup You might think such a concise book wouldn’t have room for a chapter on the venerable past of HTML . . . but you couldn’t be farther from the truth. In the very first chapter, Jeremy Keith takes you back to the beginning. He clearly explains the path from HTML 2.0 (there never was a version 1) right up to HTML5, visiting famous stops such as HTML 4, XHTML 1, and XHTML 2. He gives a great explanation of why it’s not reasonable to wait for full HTML5 support before using it.
After HTML 4.01, the next revision to the language was called XHTML 1.0. The X stood for “eXtreme” and web developers were required to cross their arms in an X shape when speaking the letter. No, not really. The X stood for “eXtensible” and arm crossing was entirely optional.
Chapter 2: The Design of HTML5 Before diving into too much nitty-gritty, Keith expains some of the philosophies behind HTML5. Among other things, he explains why the new doctype makes sense (and why doctypes are really irrelevant), what’s been removed since HTML4, and how some elements have changed their identities. One of the most interesting parts of this chapter is his explanation of why there are no longer any deprecated elements, only obsolete ones. And don’t miss the section on the new JavaScript API; I won’t spoil it, but I’ll tell you this: fun, fun, fun.
With HTML5, anything goes. Uppercase, lowercase, quoted, unquoted, self-closing or not; it’s entirely up to you.
Chapter 3: Rich Media I think we’d all agree that the new media offerings in HTML5 are some of the most exciting additions . . . and some of the most controversial. If any of that controversy is caused by a lack of understanding, this chapter will make it all clear. Jeremy very clearly explains all you’d care to know about the canvas, audio, and video tags. He’ll steer your through the murky waters of patchy support and poor accessibility and show you how to use these features successfully.
Fortunately, there’s a way to use the audio element without having to make a Sophie’s Choice between file formats. Instead of using the src attribute in the opening <audio> tag, you can specify multiple file formats using the source element instead.
Chapter 4: Web Forms 2.0 This chapter is about one of the biggest parts of HTML5: forms. Usually, forms are a rather boring topic: not so in this book. Jeremy will take you through each one of the attributes and types of input, as well as teach you how to check for a browser’s support of these new features. You’ll be enlightened to read about why HTML5 includes things like native form validation, and whether or not you should style the new UI elements (Well, you can’t, but he answer the question “Should you want to?”).
I can see why the autofocus attribute has been added to HTML5—it’s paving a cowpath—but I worry about the usability of this pattern, be it scripted or native. This feature could be helpful, but it could just as easily be infuriating. Please think long and hard before implementing this pattern.
Chapter 5: Semantics This is probably my favourite chapter; to start out, Mr. Keith discusses the issues behind the extensibility of HTML: should you be able to create your own tags, like in XML? Are there other ways to bring meaning to elements? He goes on from there to introduce several of the new elements that HTML5 brings to the table, and shows you how to use them correctly. Before reading this book, I was somewhat confused about the roles of the new structural elements—things like section and article. Well, colour me enlightened; Jeremy Keith’s explanation will make it all clear. If you really want to challenge yourself, read his explanation of HTML5′s outline algorithm.
Back in 2005, Google did some research to find out what kind of low-hanging fruit could be found on the cowpaths of the web. A parser looked at over a billion web pages and tabulated the most common class names. The results were unsurprising. Class names such as “header,” “footer,” and “nav” were prevalent. These emergent semantics map nicely to some of the new structural elements introduced in HTML5.
Chapter 6: Using HTML5 Today It’s nice to know all the theories and specs, but can we really use it? today? As you’ll see, the short answer is “yes”; the long answer is, well, you’ll have to read the book. What’s supported? What’s can you use now? What workarounds are available? It’s all in here, and you’ll be up and running in no time.
I hope that this little sashay ’round HTML5 has encouraged you to start exploring this very exciting technology. I also hope that you will bring the fruits of your exploration back to the WHATWG.
The Summary It’s amazing how much is actually covered on these subjects in only 85 pages. You’ll learn everything from the history of HTML to how to correctly use the <b> and <i> tags (eh? yes, their back in HTML5). If you want to “try before you buy,” you can check out the first chapter at A List Apart. Is there anything I’d change in this book? I can’t find anything to complain about; both the publishers and the author are individuals known for their amazing quality of work, and HTML5 for Web Designers is just one more testament to their skill.
Who’s the Book For? If you’re a web developer, you’ll appreciate this book’s practical knowledge and solid explanations of why things are the way they are. If you’re primarily an experience designer, this book will give you a good grip on using HTML5 semantically and accessibly. If you’re interested in the history of HTML, that’s here. And if you just want a small but elegant book for your shelf, look no further. In sum, if Nettuts+ is one of your regular web stops, you absolutely must buy HTML5 for Web Designers. Or, what if you’ve already bought it . . . and read it. If that’s the case, how’s my analysis? Is there anything about the book that you would change?
HTML is the most important tool a web designer can wield. Without markup, the web wouldn’t exist. I find it remarkable and wonderful that anybody can contribute to the evolution of this most vital of technologies.

LG To The WSJ, “Our tablet will be better than the iPad.”
Publié sur google.com
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/LX1yZpRn4xw/
Oh boy. LG’s Marketing VP made a mighty big claim in a recent Wall Street Journal article. I’ll state it again if you somehow missed the headline: “our tablet will be better than the iPad.” That’s like Kia saying their upcoming sports car will be better than the Porsche 911. Or some Hollywood startup saying they’re making the next Star Wars only better. A blanket statement like that just doesn’t sit well. Although, LG seems to have the right idea and might bust out the best Android tablet to date — well, that’s not that hard really.

Ubuntu One gets a revamp for the Kubuntu desktop thanks to Harald Sitter’s Google Summer of Code project. We briefly mentioned the proposal to mash Ubuntu One awesomeness with KDE tech back in April when the list of accepted projects were made known. Now blogging on his blog, the self-confessed Kubuntu-Ninja has given a tight run down of his initial success - and how to get an ‘alpha quality’ build for Maverick Meerkat - and boy does it look good. I urge you to head over to his site for a proper rundown but, in summary some of the features currently present include: - Creating an Ubuntu One Status Notifier for the system tray that provides the ability to start, view and configure Ubuntu One Ubuntu One embedded in System Settings’ network area Ubuntu One entry in KInfoCenter Install Before you read any further this alpha only works with Ubuntu 10.10. For more information refer to this mailing post before adding the repository below. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apachelogger/ubuntuone-kde sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-kde Article originally appeared on http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk | If you're reading this elsewhere then sue.

Google Talk video & voice chat FINALLY comes to Linux
Publié sur google.com
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/d0od/~3/nyNDm6lz6v0/google-talk-video-voice-chat-finally.html
It’s raining where I am but the sun is most certainly shining in my head: Gtalk users on Linux can finally use both voice and video chat. Adding such support has been Google’s top video chat request Head over to Gmail.com/videochat to download the plugin. It’s even packaged up in a neat .deb! So, why the wait? Google engineer Justin Uberti talks about the trouble the Linux port posed: "This release required significant engineering to develop an all-new video rendering solution and an all-new PulseAudio-based audio handler, along with work to support 64-bit and countless webcam compatibility tests. We spent a lot of effort to make it fully feature-complete, with all the same goodies as the Windows and Mac versions, and we're happy to now support Google voice and video now on all major desktop platforms." For SUSE or Fedora users wanting a slice of the action fear not - he also says that “[they’re] planning on adding RPM support soon as well.” Article originally appeared on http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk | If you're reading this elsewhere then sue.

Saw this URL fly by today… wow and thank you to the Ubuntu Ads guys
So, who’s up for making Maverick Movies? It would be great to have a “10 best features in 10.10″ video collection for release. Unity’s awesome and then there are things to show off in OO.o, Gnome, Firefox…. giving credit where it’s due. I put together https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMovies as a starting place to aggregate content. Have subscribed, so if you update that page I’ll see it. If that goes nicely, we can beef the process up in the runup to release.

Chrome OS tablet coming from Google and Verizon on Black Friday?
Publié sur google.com
http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/zsqcYio_z28/
We've been waiting on pins and needles for Google to announce some official Android tablet plans for so long we'd almost forgotten about Mountain View's other operating system -- but from what we're hearing, Chrome OS is about to jump to center stage with a tablet debut on Verizon just before the holidays. Our friends at Download Squad are told by a reliable tipster that HTC is building a Tegra 2-based Chrome OS tablet for Google with a 1280 x 720 multitouch display, 2GB of RAM, at least 32GB of storage with the possibility of expansion, GPS, a webcam, and the usual wireless connectivity, including a 3G radio. Launch is pegged for Black Friday on November 26, and apparently the plan is to offer the device for extremely cheap or free on subsidy, which makes sense -- it is just a browser, after all, and "free" sounds mighty nice compared to the iPad's $499 entry point. (Of course, you'll undoubtedly be tied to a Verizon contract, but we'll just let that slide for now.) We'll see how much of this comes true in the next few months -- we're certainly intrigued.Chrome OS tablet coming from Google and Verizon on Black Friday? originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 18 Aug 2010 11:23:00 EDT.

JavaScript Gameboy Emulator: Memory and GPU
Publié sur google.com
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ajaxian/~3/mF9olLUC9sw/javascript-gameboy-emulator-memory-and-gpu
Jack Vaughn posted on Ajaxian recently about a new blog series on building a Gameboy emulator using JavaScript. Now Parts II and III have been posted in the series:
Part 1: The CPU Part 2: Memory Part 3: GPU Timings
In the Memory section, Imran Nazar builds up a JavaScript MMU that can interpret the different parts of the Gamboy's memory: In the previous part of this series, the computer was introduced as a processing unit, which fetches its instructions from memory. In almost every case, a computer's memory is not a simple contiguous region; the GameBoy is no exception in this regard. Since the GameBoy CPU can access 65,536 individual locations on its address bus, a "memory map" can be drawn of all the regions where the CPU has access.
[CC-A by Michael Ngilen] In the third part Imran is now ready to actually draw things to the screen, using the Canvas tag: Nintendo's internal name for the GameBoy is "Dot Matrix Game"; its display is a pixel LCD of dimensions 160x144. If each pixel in the LCD is treated as a pixel in a HTML5 <canvas>, a direct mapping can be made to a canvas of width 160 and height 144. In order to directly address each pixel in the LCD, the contents of the canvas can be manipulated as a "framebuffer": a single block of memory containing the entirety of the canvas, as a series of 4-byte RGBA values. Next in the series will be a blog post on backgrounds and patterns.

Glimmer: Visual Builder for JQuery Animations
Publié sur google.com
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ajaxian/~3/a2hnPF6fZ8w/glimmer-visual-builder-for-jquery-animations
From Tim Aidlin over at Microsoft comes a tutorial on using JQuery to do animation. The tutorial is focused on using a new library they have designed called Glimmer that allows designers and developers to create interactive elements and animations on web pages using JQuery. Using Glimmer you setup your HTML and CSS and then use the visual Glimmer tool to create animations and other effects:
The Glimmer tool then generates JQuery JavaScript automatically that you can pull into your page. An example snippet: PLAIN TEXT [removed]
jQuery(function($) { var timer; function clear_canvas(event) { clearTimeout(timer); timer = setTimeout(eval("big_guy_in"),"600");$("#slide1text").css("left","-800px");$("#slide1text").animate({"left":0},600, "easeOutElastic", null);$("#bigGuyPointing").css("left","600px"); $("#bigGuyPointing").animate({"left":600},1000, "linear", null); $("#slide1").css("display","block"); $("#bigGuyPointing").animate({"left":600},1000, "linear", null); }

Ding, ding - Sound Applet mock-ups round II
Publié sur google.com
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/d0od/~3/uZtqKerNxFA/ding-ding-sound-applet-mock-ups-round.html
Wyatt Kirby, whose sound applet mock-ups found favourable fandom both here and on Mark Shuttleworth's blog, has put pixel to, er, palette and come up with a newly revised design.
For those new to the whole 'Sound Menu Saga' I'll be brief: Ubuntu 10.10 has a new sound menu which controls things like thythmbox and system volume. Some people like it & some people like it less so.
Now people are suggesting a bit of a rethink about it.
We've seen awesome (including interactive) mock-ups proposing solutions to the issues Mark Shuttleworth raised and by far and away the most popular had been Wyatt's designs. Step up the redux versions.
Wyatt's design redux Wyatt told us: "What I consider to be important about this project is the functionality. Till now it's seemed that we're trying to fit all the functionality of the main program window into a 200px wide drop-down menu."
"I'd like to see the option added to pull up the main program window by clicking on the program title, eliminating the need for things like a playlist menu, the current playback time, shuffle/repeat options, etc. Thus leaving the applet to handle volume and little else."
Wyatt's 'condensed' version "This greatly reduces the clutter and weight of the menu, leaving the core functionality - adjusting the volume - intact."
I'm going to let the stellar work above do the talking for me but feel free to leave your thoughts and (polite) critiques in the comment section below.Article originally appeared on http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk | If you're reading this elsewhere then sue.

Gestures with multitouch in Ubuntu 10.10
Publié sur google.com
http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/455
Multitouch is just as useful on a desktop as it is on a phone or tablet, so I’m delighted that the first cut of Canonical’s UTouch framework has landed in Maverick and will be there for its release on 10.10.10. You’ll need 4-finger touch or better to get the most out of it, and we’re currently targeting the Dell XT2 as a development environment so the lucky folks with that machine will get the best results today. By release, we expect you’ll be able to use it with a range of devices from major manufacturers, and with addons like Apple’s Magic Trackpad. The design team has lead the way, developing a “touch language” which goes beyond the work that we’ve seen elsewhere. Rather than single, magic gestures, we’re making it possible for basic gestures to be chained, or composed, into more sophisticated “sentences”. The basic gestures, or primitives, are like individual verbs, and stringing them together allows for richer interactions. It’s not quite the difference between banging rocks together and conducting a symphony orchestra, but it feels like a good step in the right direction
The new underlying code is published on Launchpad under the GPLv3 and LGPLv3, and of course there are quite a lot of modules for things like X and Gtk which may be under licenses preferred by those projects. There’s a PPA if you’re interested in tracking the cutting edge, or just branch / push/ merge on LP if you want to make it better. Details in the official developer announcement. The bits depend on Peter Hutterer’s recently published update to the X input protocols related to multi-touch, and add gesture processing and gesture event delivery. I’d like to thank Duncan McGreggor for his leadership of the team which implemented this design, and of course all the folks who have worked on it so far: Henrik Rydberg, Rafi Rubin, Chase Douglas, Stephen Webb at the heart of it, and many others who have expanded on their efforts. In Maverick, quite a few Gtk applications will support gesture-based scrolling. We’ll enhance Evince to show some of the richer interactions that developers might want to add to their apps. Window management will be gesture-enabled in Unity, so 10.10 Netbook Edition users with touch screens or multi-touch pads will have sophisticated window management at their fingertips. Install Unity on your desktop for a taste of it, just apt-get install ubuntu-netbook and choose the appropriate session at login. The roadmap beyond 10.10 will flesh out the app developer API and provide system services related to gesture processing and touch. It would be awesome to have touch-aware versions of all the major apps – browser, email, file management, chat, photo management and media playback – for 11.04, but that depends on you! So if you are interested in this, let’s work up some branches Here’s the official Canonical blog post, too.
