Dive Into HTML5 HTML5 Semantics: you too can be a bedwetting antfucker by Bruce Lawson · Fronteers Video Slides See slides on SlideShare Transcript Bruce Lawson: [0:05] Hi. [0:30] So the subtitle of this talk is "You, too, can be a bedwetting ant-fucker." [0:49] It's kind of quite tricky talking about semantics because there is this belief that people who are interested in semantics are very, very anally retentive. [1:23] The reason is, is that semantics are to do with words, they're to do with meaning, they're to do with human concerns like that. [2:03] I was going to call this "You, too, can be a bedwetting hairsplitter." [2:52] So HTML5 gives us 30 new elements, so, in HTML now we have about 105 elements. [3:12] In the Second World War, the English government invented something called "Basic English" which was for different people who didn't have English as a first language to talk with each other and that was very basic and had a vocabulary of 5,000 words. [3:48] Another good thing about HTML5 is it frees us from the tyranny of XML parsing. [8:27] So we have the <ruby> element.
A Framework for Ethics in Software Development This is Version 1 of this document. It is a work in progress. There are many points that are not yet addressed and information which is still missing. This document uses Deep Linking. Introduction Why Write This? I have been told many times in recent months, in a variety of contexts, that software developers do not need a code of ethics. A great deal of effort has been put into maintaining a rather misguided status-quo by people who stand to lose a lot of money if things change; namely, the Business Software Alliance, the Motion Picture Association of America, and the Recording Industry Association of America. A near equal amount of effort -- perhaps even more -- has been (albeit less efficiently and effectively) devoted to convincing the public that the ability to copy and modify software with no restrictions is a natural right, by the Free Software Foundation and others. A Note about Laws Assumptions, Silly and Otherwise We need a framework for ethics in software development. References
HTML5 This specification defines the 5th major version, second minor revision of the core language of the World Wide Web: the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In this version, new features continue to be introduced to help Web application authors, new elements continue to be introduced based on research into prevailing authoring practices, and special attention continues to be given to defining clear conformance criteria for user agents in an effort to improve interoperability. This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at This document was published by the Web Platform Working Group as a W3C Recommendation for HTML 5.2 that would obsolete the HTML 5.1 Recommendation. This document was produced by a group operating under the W3C Patent Policy.
Html 5, simple y claro Michael Bluejay - Official home page HTML5 Presentation In March 1936, an unusual confluence of forces occurred in Santa Clara County. A long cold winter delayed the blossoming of the millions of cherry, apricot, peach, and prune plum trees covering hundreds of square miles of the Valley floor. Then, unlike many years, the rains that followed were light and too early to knock the blossoms from their branches. Instead, by the billions, they all burst open at once. Then came the wind. It roared off the Pacific Ocean, through the nearly uninhabited passes of the Santa Cruz Mountains and then, flattening out, poured down into the great alluvial plains of the Valley. This perfumed blizzard hit Stevens Creek Boulevard, a two-lane road with a streetcar line down its center, that was the main road in the West Valley.
HTML5 Reference It is useful to make a distinction between the vocabulary of an HTML document—the elements and attributes, and their meanings—and the syntax in which it is written. HTML has a defined set of elements and attributes which can be used in a document; each designed for a specific purpose with their own meaning. Consider this set of elements to be analogous to the list of words in a dictionary. This includes elements for headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, form controls and many other features. The basic structure of elements in an HTML document is a tree structure. 3.1 Syntactic Overview There are two syntaxes that can be used: the traditional HTML syntax, and the XHTML syntax. The HTML syntax is loosely based upon the older, though very widely used syntax from HTML 4.01. <! XHTML, however, is based on the much more strict XML syntax. 3.2 The Syntax There are a number of basic components make up the syntax of HTML, that are used throughout any document. 3.2.1 DOCTYPE Declaration end tag
Site Clinic: Content Is Key To Attracting Customers Today we begin the first installment of a weekly site clinic column, where small businesses are invited to submit their websites for review. Can't beat a little free advice, right? I'll be looking at the design, copy, usability, SEO, marketing, and any technical issues that may prevent websites from drawing loyal, active visitors and meeting goals. Each week, I'll give the top five issues the website owner/manager can address to significantly improve performance. This week I'm looking at the website for First Class Affairs, a banquet facility and caterer in Southern New Jersey. To get started, I asked a few questions that give necessary background for the marketing goals of the website: Target market? 1. I can't tell you how many times I've worked on a web development project where the sole focus was the design, and no one was paying any attention to the content. The First Class Affairs website has a good start in providing the necessary information. Menu. 2. 3. 4. 5.
