Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
(versión en castellano abajo) After doing the CSS Paper Bird effect, I found out that by a combination of the CSS1 properties background-attachment and background-position , 2D displacement maps could be created and, by scrolling, the displacement map would be applied to different parts of the texture (a background image). With displacement maps lots of cool effects could be done, but thinking that the complexity of the displacement map would directly affect the CSS and markup size, choosing a good example took me some time. I thought in sea waves reflections, underwater distortions, magnifying glass, a rotating Earth… but the final thing I did was just right in my desktop: a Coke can - my favourite drink.
You’ve probably been hearing a lot lately about how Flash is a dying technology and how it’ll soon be replaced by HTML5 . Personally, I think that it will slowly replace Flash for some things, but Flash will always have a place, especially for developing complex games and rich internet applications. If you’ve yet to see what HTML5 can do, I’ve rounded up 10 demos that show off some of its capabilities.
As Wikipedia says, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (that is, the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including SVG and XUL. But beyond the web design, you can use CSS to create some pretty cool graphics, as the ones we show you below. OK, as we have seen throughout this countdown. Its not always the tool the one that’s behind a master piece, but a master hand that is able to create the most beautiful things with the most simple tools. See you in the next countdown.
