CSS3 Transforms & @font-face Experiment | neography. Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 This is the first of what I hope are number of experiments I plan on working on over the next few months, all in an effort to get acquainted with some of the new CSS3 features out in the wild that seem to be gaining some traction. The last few months have been pretty exciting, with all the talk about new CSS3 features and how browsers are adding support for them, it’s a great time to be a designer for the web. It’s a lot easier these days to experiment with different typefaces, layouts and techniques previously not available.
Take a look at the image below: No, it’s not a poster. It’s a web page completely designed using basic CSS and new CSS3 techniques. Pretty impressive right? How’s it done? Pretty easy actually, I used basic CSS positioning and some of the newer CSS3 features to put it together. @font-face Transforms -webkit-transform: rotate(1deg); -moz-transform: rotate(1deg); -o-transform: rotate(1deg); Text-Shadows & Box Shadows. CSS3 Background-Clip Text & @font-face. HTML5 Live Conference. CSS3 Image Styles. When applying CSS3 inset box-shadow or border-radius directly to the image element, the browser doesn't render the CSS style perfectly. However, if the image is applied as background-image, you can add any style to it and have it rendered properly. Darcy Clarke and I put a quick tutorial together on how to use jQuery to make perfect rounded corner images dynamically. Today I'm going to revisit the topic and show you how much more you can do with the background-image CSS trick.
I will show you how to use box-shadow, border-radius and transition to create various image styles. View Demo Image Styles Problem (see demo) Take a look at the demo and note that there is border-radius and inset box-shadow applied in the first row of images. Workaround To get the border-radius and inset box-shadow working, the workaround is to apply the actual image as background-image.
Dynamic Way To make it dynamic, you can use to jQuery to wrap the background image dynamically for every image element. Output. 20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web.

HTML5, browsers, and books, twenty years later. Update: Thanks for all the interest and feedback on 20 Things I Learned about Browsers and the Web! We hope to open-source the code in the coming months and will post an update when we do. Stay tuned. Twenty years ago this month, Tim Berners-Lee published his proposal for the World Wide Web.
Since then, web browsers and web programming languages have come a long way. A few of us on the Chrome team decided to write an online guide for everyday users who are curious about the basics of how browsers and the web work, and how their evolution has changed the way we work and play online. In building an online book app, HTML5, JavaScript and CSS3 gave us the ability to bring to life features that hearken back to what we love about books with the best aspects of the open web: the app works everywhere, and on any device with a modern browser. This illustrated guidebook is best experienced in Chrome or any up-to-date, HTML5-compliant modern browser.

HTML5 Techniques - Ultimate Collection of Tutorials. As my experience we always close to the latest technologies as we have one step ahead on web development techniques as HTML5. HTML 5 is the advanced version of HTML. HTML 5 is giving new techniques and advanced features/structure in designing. These new features and tags makes designing very easy to create a web page. CSS3 and HTML 5 are capable of revolutionizing the way we design websites.
Both include so many new features and functions that it can be hard to wrap your head around them at times. HTML5 is giving web designers and developers new capabilities that were things of fantasy with previous versions of HTML. When saying about HTML5, developers mean the new semantic structural tags, API specs like canvas or offline storage, new inline semantic tags, etc. In an front-end development effort to encourage our respected visitors and readers to do the same and to prepare you for the future, we’ve rounded up “HTML5 Techniques – Ultimate Collection of Tutorials“.
