IDC predicts Big Data will become a $17 billion market.

Thoughts About the Interactive Web As the HTML5 spec is slowly making its way from working draft to recommendation and browser implementations are solidifying – the urge to make use of these new features grows strong. Coming from a Flash background, and being a sucker for anything that moves or can be interacted with, I am most excited about the introduction of the <canvas> element which allows for bitmap drawing through JavaScript. I started creating some visual experiments using canvas a few months back and have gathered some tips for anyone dabbling in this neck of the woods. Performance When working with animation on canvas, performance can be a challenge since bitmap operations are very processing expensive, especially at high resolutions. State Stack & Transformation The canvas can be manipulated via transformations such as rotation and scaling, resulting in a change to the canvas coordinate system.

Starting Out Organized: Website Content Planning The Right Way - So many articles explain how to design interfaces, design graphics and deal with clients. But one step in the Web development process is often skipped over or forgotten altogether: content planning . Sometimes called information architecture, or IA planning, this step doesn’t find a home easily in many people’s workflow. Your New Project: How It Goes All Too Often On day one things are great. On day two you get the following: A TIFF logo (in CMYK) via email; A set of logo standards that include the RGB values, via email (separately); A disc full of photos with various names (like “DSC09080978″); A fax that labels the photos according to their file names; An email that lays out the top and second-level navigation, as the client sees it; A phone that makes last-minute changes to the top-level navigation; An email with a DOC attachment full of text for various pages (but not all of it). And on day three you get an email that makes half of the junk you got yesterday obsolete. Card Sorting

ISO-Datei: Öffnen, brennen und emulieren von ISO-Dateien Viele Anwender stehen irgendwann vor der Frage, was denn eine ISO-Datei ist und vor allem wie man eine ISO-Datei öffnen kann. Oft ist die ISO-Datei aus dem Internet runtergeladen worden, z.B. wollte man eine Demoversion einer Software downloaden und hat nun eine ISO-Datei auf dem Rechner. Genau hier liegt auch der Sinn und Zweck einer ISO-Datei. Der Ursprung einer ISO-Datei sind Datenträger. Wenn man eine Software im Geschäft kauft, erhält man in der Regel einen Datenträger, z.B. eine CD oder DVD. Die Anbieter von Software verlagern jedoch die Verbreitung ihrer Software immer mehr ins Internet. Eine Lösung für das Problem bieten ISO-Dateien. ISO-Dateien werden jedoch nicht zur zum Download über das Internet erstellt. Responsive Web Design: What It Is and How To Use It - Smashing Magazine Advertisement Almost every new client these days wants a mobile version of their website. It’s practically essential after all: one design for the BlackBerry, another for the iPhone, the iPad, netbook, Kindle — and all screen resolutions must be compatible, too. In the next five years, we’ll likely need to design for a number of additional inventions. When will the madness stop? It won’t, of course.

The Concept Of Responsive Web Design Ethan Marcotte1 wrote an introductory article about the approach, “Responsive Web Design992,” for A List Apart.

Incredibly Captivating and Expressive Portraits At first, I thought these images by 22-year-old photographer Robby Cavanaugh were completely fabricated interpretations of life. From the flying fish to the woman standing on top of water, his work portrays intense technical strength as a digital artist. At the same time, though, it turns out that he is also quite the creative energetic, who isn’t afraid to haul a giant door to the beach or to set an umbrella on fire. Amazing! It's clear that he uses a bit of post-production to enhance his photography, but his main goal is to capture everything in a single frame. His creative expression is emotionally powerful and tells the story of an ambitious young photographer. Robby Cavanaugh’s websiteRobby Cavanaugh on DeviantArt
