Adobe lance une suite d'outils de développement HTML5
Vous ne vous en rendez sans doute pas compte, mais le web est dans une étape de transformation cruciale en ce moment. Nous ne parlons pas ici des usages, mais plutôt des technologies, et plus particulièrement de HTML. La dernière évolution en date des standards (HTML5) devait mettre tout le monde d’accord et permettre à l’industrie d’appréhender cette nouvelle itération avec calme et sérénité. Sauf que le torchon brûle entre le W3C (l’organisme de normalisation des standards web) et le WHATWG (le consortium qui pousse pour faire évoluer plus rapidement les standards). Vous serez ainsi surpris d’apprendre que HTML5 n’existe pas, du moins que HTML5 n’existe pas en tant que standard web stabilisé et normalisé par le W3C. Ces derniers avaient initialement prévu de le stabiliser en 2022 (véridique), mais sous la pression des grands éditeurs ont ramené l’échéance à 2014 (W3C announces plan to deliver HTML 5 by 2014, HTML 5.1 in 2016).

50 Great Examples of Data Visualization
Wrapping your brain around data online can be challenging, especially when dealing with huge volumes of information. And trying to find related content can also be difficult, depending on what data you’re looking for. But data visualizations can make all of that much easier, allowing you to see the concepts that you’re learning about in a more interesting, and often more useful manner. Below are 50 of the best data visualizations and tools for creating your own visualizations out there, covering everything from Digg activity to network connectivity to what’s currently happening on Twitter. Music, Movies and Other Media Narratives 2.0 visualizes music. Liveplasma is a music and movie visualization app that aims to help you discover other musicians or movies you might enjoy. Tuneglue is another music visualization service. MusicMap is similar to TuneGlue in its interface, but seems slightly more intuitive. Digg, Twitter, Delicious, and Flickr Internet Visualizations
Code smells in CSS
20 November, 2012 Chris Coyier recently answered someone’s question: How can you tell if your CSS code smells? What are the signs that the code is sub-optional, or that the developer hasn’t done a good job? I thought I would extend Chris’ great answer with my own, additional take on things… My day-to-day life is spent working in-house at BSkyB… I work on big websites, the last of which took me over a year to build the front-end for (and it’s still ongoing). I’m going to share just a few things (there will, no doubt, be things that I have missed) that I look out for in CSS that will give you and idea as to its quality, its maintainability and its integrity… Undoing styles Any CSS that unsets styles (apart from in a reset) should start ringing alarm bells right away. Any CSS declarations like these: border-bottom:none; padding:0; float:none; margin-left:0; …are typically bad news. Here we have ten lines of CSS and one ugly class name. Magic numbers These are a particular bugbear of mine. ! ! IDs

Using fullscreen mode - Document Object Model (DOM)
This is an experimental technologyBecause this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes. The fullscreen API provides an easy way for web content to be presented using the user's entire screen. This article provides information about using this API. Note: This API is early in the standardization process. Although both Gecko and Google Chrome have implementations, they are not currently mutually-compatible, and neither implements the current draft of the specification. The API lets you easily direct the browser to make an element and its children, if any, occupy the fullscreen, eliminating all browser user interface and other applications from the screen for the duration. Activating fullscreen mode Let's consider this <video> element: Presentation differences Example
