HTML5 Bookmarks - daily news articles and bookmarks Amazon: Time to start programming your e-books | Deep Tech The dividing line between writing books and writing programs just got a big step blurrier. That's because Amazon has now released tools for creating books using Web technologies. Those tools include Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), used to describe Web pages, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), used for formatting. "Through the use of HTML5 and CSS3, KF8 allows publishers to create great-looking books in all categories, particularly those that require rich formatting and design, such as technical & engineering books and cookbooks," Amazon announced. Other features are well suited to graphic novels, comics, and kids' books, Amazon said. The move reflects the gradual expansion of e-book abilities. Using Web technology means Amazon gets to capitalize on widely used standards and piggyback on industry efforts for improvements such as hardware-accelerated rendering in browsers. Amazon released two tools for the new book format, called KF8, or Kindle Format 8.
Le BlogDuWebdesign boost l'inspiration des intégrateurs #4 - inspiration-integration Découvrez sur le Blog du Webdesign 10 animations CSS3 sans javascript ! Les animations et transitions CSS3 Qu'on se le dise, il n'est plus obligatoire d'utiliser du Javascript pour avoir de jolies animations sur son site !

Les Transitions ne sont ni plus ni moins qu'un moyen de répartir le changement d'une propriété (par exemple un changement de couleur de texte au survol) dans le temps, pour donner un effet d'apparition, par exemple. Les animations sont bien plus que ça: Il est possible grace à elles de définir des images clés, et les transitions qui doivent être appliquées pour passer d'une image a l'autre ! Attention, ces deux propriétés ne sont pas supportés par internet explorer 9 et inférieur. Pour illustrer ce que l'on peut faire avec tout ça, découvrez 10 animations ne contenant pas de Javascript (ou alors n'utilisant le Javascript que pour des taches annexes, comme détecter un clic).

Creating a Slick Auto-Playing Featured Content Slider I love the Coda Slider plugin for jQuery. I've used it recently to build a couple of tabbed "widgets". One here on CSS-Tricks in the sidebar to show Script & Style links, Featured Posts, and Popular Posts. Just kind of a fun way to show lots of content in a small area. Both of these examples use the Coda Slider pretty much "out of the box". View Demo Download Files Functionality Checklist Like I said, the Coda Slider was 90% there already. Here is what we need in addition: Different types of custom content in the panels. Let's go through the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The HTML Here is the framework HTML for just the slider itself: <div class="slider-wrap"><div id="main-photo-slider" class="csw"><div class="panelContainer"><div class="panel" title="Panel 1"><div class="wrapper"><!
