Real Time Multiplayer in HTML5
Multiplayer and browsers When you consider making multiplayer games, there are many methods available for creating a game that friends can play online. There is a good variety of multiplayer game types - take for example a card game you play synchronously with friends. Turns are made, information is exchanged in (semi) real time and the game progresses in discrete steps. Another example, Chess, can be asynchronous. Players take their time, contemplating possible actions and play their next move one week from now. Card games and Chess both usually require communication with a server and communication with the other players in order to work online. The trouble with these methods is the delay, posting a message and waiting for a response each time is just too slow. Luckily, in modern browsers we can take one step higher, and have a real time connection between a server and clients.

5 herramientas para simplificar el desarrollo en HTML5
A pesar de que el W3C -World Wide Web Consortium- y WHATWG -Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group - aún se encuentran trabajando en él, HTML5, con sus nuevas y magnificas características, está revolucionando la forma en que se desarrolla para la web. Es una realidad que, a la fecha, no todos los navegadores soportan todas las características del estándar -aunque hay que reconocer que se esfuerzan mucho para mejorar la compatibilidad con cada versión- sin embargo, desarrollar hoy día en HTML5 trae muchos beneficios, sobre todo de cara al futuro. Para el día de hoy, se encuentran disponibles una gran variedad de herramientas para simplificar el desarrollo en HTML5, útiles tanto para los más expertos como para los que apenas se inician.

5 of the Best Free HTML5 Presentation Systems
I have a lot of respect for Microsoft PowerPoint. It may be over-used and encourages people to create shocking slide shows, but it’s powerful and fun. I have just one criticism: all PowerPoint presentations look the same. It doesn’t matter how you change the colors, backgrounds, fonts or transitions — everyone can spot a PPT from a mile away. Fortunately, we now have another option: HTML5. it’s quicker to add a few HTML tags than use a WYSIWYG interfaceyou can update a presentation using a basic text editor on any devicefiles can be hosted on the web; you need never lose a PPT againyou can easily distribute a presentation without viewing softwareit’s not PowerPoint and your audience will be amazed by your technical prowess. Admittedly, HTML5 presentations are not quite as powerful: you require web coding skillspositioning, effects and transitions are more limitedfew systems offer slide notes (it’s a little awkward to show them separately)it’s more difficult to print handouts Reveal.js

Holmes: Herramienta para detectar errores HTML5
Holmes es una interesantísima herramienta para la detección de errores en estructuras HTML5, para lograrlo hace algo que nunca se me hubiese ocurrido, utilizar CSS para evaluar si las distintas estructuras se encuentran bien diseñadas, o bien, para detectar propiedades no soportadas por el navegador. Esta herramienta detecta muchos de los errores clásicos que aparecen a la hora de estructurar un proyecto con HTML, por ejemplo: atributos faltantes o elementos obsoletos según W3. Navegadores soportados: Google Chrome 10+, Safari 5+, Opera 10+ y Firefox 3.5+. La principal ventaja de Holmes es que para utilizarlo simplemente debemos enlazar la hoja de estilo a nuestro proyecto, algo que no demanda más que una linea de código. Por lo que hacer este tipo de comprobaciones, previo lanzamiento de un proyecto, es algo extremadamente sencillo y nos puede evitar algún que otro dolor de cabeza. Web: Holmes Pablo
