6 JavaScript Animation Libraries to Save Time and WOW Clients JavaScript and CSS libraries help web designers and developers be better at their jobs, while alleviating common pain points encountered when manually coding elements. Saving time, creating more while doing less, and building upon previously successful frameworks are just a few of the benefits of using these libraries. Best of all, they’re built to help with all areas of web design and development — including animations, which can be a powerful part of your next client project. As outlined in Pasquale D’Silva’s theory of transitional interfaces, animations are important to websites because they help users understand changes. This is why web designers and developers should not only “delight” users with animations, but also create them to serve a functional purpose. We want you to focus less on the logistics of your animations and more on planning, strategizing, and implementing them.

Velocity.js GreenSock for Beginners: a Web Animation Tutorial (Part 1) My aim in this article is to give you a thorough introduction to GreenSock, also known as GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform), a super performant, professional-grade HTML5 animation engine for the modern web. This is the fourth article in the series Beyond CSS: Dynamic DOM Animation Libraries. Here’s what I covered in the past issues: Animating the DOM with Anime.js touches on how to make the best use of animation on the web and when you could consider using a JavaScript animation library instead of CSS-only animation. GSAP has too many features to fit in one article. In more detail: By the end of this first part, you’ll have learned about GreenSock’s capabilities and features, licensing model, core components, and basic syntax to tween and stagger DOM elementsIn part 2, I’ll introduce GreenSock’s native timeline functionalityFinally, part 3 will focus on some powerful bonus plugins GreenSock makes available to accomplish complex animation tasks easily with a few lines of code.

Code CSS empêchant l'affichage | Web | Google Developers By default, CSS is treated as a render blocking resource, which means that the browser won't render any processed content until the CSSOM is constructed. Make sure to keep your CSS lean, deliver it as quickly as possible, and use media types and queries to unblock rendering. In the render tree construction we saw that the critical rendering path requires both the DOM and the CSSOM to construct the render tree. This creates an important performance implication: both HTML and CSS are render blocking resources. The HTML is obvious, since without the DOM we would not have anything to render, but the CSS requirement may be less obvious. What would happen if we try to render a typical page without blocking rendering on CSS? By default, CSS is treated as a render blocking resource.Media types and media queries allow us to mark some CSS resources as non-render blocking.The browser downloads all CSS resources, regardless of blocking or non-blocking behavior. CSS is a render blocking resource. Yes
Tutorial: Building A Game In Edge Animate (Offender) Introduction: I’ve decided to build this first Tetrageddon Games “mini-game” tutorial, Offender, in Adobe Edge Animate because the program is still very new, and there isn’t much out there on it in terms of game development. I think this will make a great “getting started” resource for newcomers, as well as demonstrate the capabilities of Edge Animate. In this tutorial I hope to offer a solid example of building a game with the program. This is the first part of a series discussing HTML5 game development. * DOWNLOAD the source files here: Offender_HTML.zip * Play the finished game here: Offender HTML * Visit the website for it here: Note, Edge Animate is being used in some game projects already. * Space Invaders RPG. * Adobe’s Episode 10: Controllable characters in an interactive environment * Create animated game HUD with Adobe Edge Animate and Coherent UI (Part 1) In terms of HTML5 game development, there are many frameworks out there for making HTML5 games.
Bringing Pages to Life with the Web Animations API This article is by guest author Dudley Storey. SitePoint guest posts aim to bring you engaging content from prominent writers and speakers of the JavaScript community. One API to Rule Them All Animation on the web has long been divided into four disparate camps: CSS transitions and animations are very performant and provide keyframing, but are also time-consuming to build, and provide only basic start-and-end control in CSS and JavaScript. The Web Animations API seeks to integrate the best features of all of these into a single, unified specification, while eliminating the drawbacks, creating a native understanding of keyframes, easing, and element control in JavaScript, with the same on-screen performance as CSS. Keyframes in JavaScript Let’s take one of the simplest possible examples of a keyframe animation: moving a red ball element from one side of the page to the other. As will the initial CSS: This animation would be called from the declaration for the red ball element: Dealing Images
Move.js - CSS3 animation framework for JavaScript Move.js is a small JavaScript library making CSS3 backed animation extremely simple and elegant. Move#set(prop, val) Set prop to val.
