Benvie/continuum The Shumway Open SWF Runtime Project | Mozilla Research Shumway is an experimental web-native runtime implementation of the SWF file format. It is developed as a free and open source project sponsored by Mozilla Research. The project has two main goals: 1. Advance the open web platform to securely process rich media formats that were previously only available in closed and proprietary implementations. 2. Offer a runtime processor for SWF and other rich media formats on platforms for which runtime implementations are not available. You can view live demo examples using Shumway. Mozilla’s mission is to advance the Open Web. The Open Web can be further advanced by making rich media capabilities, previously only available in Flash, also available in the native web browser stack. 1.

15 Beautiful Text Effects Created with CSS Beautiful text or typography will make your design look attractive. In web design, CSS helps to give style to design including various effects in text or typography. With CSS, you can use clipping and add animation to text to spice things up a little. And to illustrate this, we have collected 15 stunning and cool text effects that are made possible with CSS (some with a little help from Javascript codes). For more things you can do with CSS, check out: Elastic stroke Animation Yoksel animates the stroke of the text with a cool color scheme. SVG Glitch Want to make effects that look like a broken analog TV? Shop Talk logo The Shop Talk logo is recreated by Hugo using only CSS. Slashed Effect This idea by Robet Messerle gives the knife sliced effect, done with less than 70 lines of CSS. Elegant Shadow Effect Long Shadow effect comes to text, made using CSS. Foggy text effect Andreas creates an awesome cinematic foggy effect. SVG text mask Text Animation Hit The Floor Background Clip Text CSS Text-FX
About php.js php.js is a resource that offers community-built JavaScript alternatives to PHP functions. Why on earth would you port php to js? to see if we canto learn JavaScriptto help others learn JavaScriptto see how php scripts perform with V8 strapped on their backsto profit from helpful functions like: strip_tags, strtotime, md5, strftime, number_format, wordwrap, vsprintf, and date, that are too high-level for JavaScript. PHP is a language with many high-level functions and while they’re not always implemented as consistently as we’d like (mimicking their underlying C parts), they do get many programming jobs done without the need for additional libraries or abstraction. We recognize JS has beautiful language features, and we encourage you to learn them (never let php.js be an excuse not to!). That said, we do think it’s a challenge to port everything and decided to also port low-level PHP functions like strpos that have perfectly good (and more performant!) And what not.

Jquery Slider Apache Thrift New Tricks in XMLHttpRequest2 Introduction One of the unsung heros in the HTML5 universe is XMLHttpRequest. Strictly speaking XHR2 isn't HTML5. Turns out our old friend got a huge makeover but many folks are unaware of its new features. This tutorial highlights some of the new features in XMLHttpRequest, especially those that can be used for working with files. Fetching data Fetching a file as a binary blob has been painful with XHR. The old way to fetch an image: var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open('GET', '/path/to/image.png', true); // Hack to pass bytes through unprocessed.xhr.overrideMimeType('text/plain; charset=x-user-defined'); xhr.onreadystatechange = function(e) { if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) { var binStr = this.responseText; for (var i = 0, len = binStr.length; i < len; ++i) { var c = binStr.charCodeAt(i); //String.fromCharCode(c & 0xff); var byte = c & 0xff; // byte at offset i } }}; xhr.send(); While this works, what you actually get back in the responseText is not a binary blob.
winston/cactus LLJS : Low-Level JavaScript The Noun Project Home · kripken/emscripten Wiki What The Rails Security Issue Means For Your Startup January has been a very bad month for Ruby on Rails developers, with two high-severity security bugs permitting remote code execution found in the framework and a separate-but-related compromise on rubygems.org, a community resource which virtually all Ruby on Rails developers sit downstream of. Many startups use Ruby on Rails. Other startups don’t but, like the Rails community, may one day find themselves asking What Do We Do When Apocalyptically Bad Things Happen On Our Framework of Choice? I thought I’d explain that for the general community. Nota bene: I’m not a professional security researcher. Mostly, I sell software. Don’t skip this post because you’re not a Rails developer. Background: What Has Been Happening in Rails-land? Ruby on Rails recently released two sets of security patches (announcements here and here), in response to related vulnerabilities discovered in the frameworks. How bad were those bugs? What does “execute arbitrary code” mean? What went wrong? We’re A Startup.
