With that being said, let's begin our tutorial by first taking a look at two basic categories of operators in JavaScript in the form of assignment operators and arithmetic operators. Once you get a decent understanding of these two topics, we will move on to discuss comparison operators and logical operat...

Report: HTML5 Mobile Performance Lags

Posted: May 22nd, 2012, 10:00pm MDT

HTML5 has become a very hot topic in the tech industry, and many development gurus have touted the technology as the wave of the future due to the way in which it enables developers to create applications that can be deployed to a wide variety of devices and browsers. While the praise for HTML5 certainly has merit, a new study released by Spaceport.io dubbed the PerfMarks II Report reveals that HTML5 gaming performance on mobile devices has a long way to go if it wants to catch up with performance on laptops. To achieve the results of its PerfMarks II Report, Spaceport.io tested smartphones a...

If you are new to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), you have a lot of ground to cover. Luckily, CSS is designed in a way that is easy to learn, and the fact that it can help you save a lot of work makes it well worth learning. One of the topics that should receive some of your attention while learning CSS is the topic of margins. As you work with CSS, the likelihood of you having to use and adjust margins is quite high, so this article will give you a basic introduction to margins and how you can implement them in your upcoming projects.

Overview of JavaScript Variables

Posted: May 14th, 2012, 10:00pm MDT

What is a JavaScript Variable? If you are completely new to working with JavaScript, you may find it difficult to understand at first. As with any learning process, you have to start with the basics. This is especially true with programming and the like, because each language can be thought of as its own little universe complete with unique terms, rules, and more. So, when discussing variables in JavaScript, it probably helps to compare them to other parts of life. Before we do that, let us describe what variables are. One of the most basic ways to describe a variable in JavaScript is to...

HTML5: Reasons to Learn and Use It

Posted: April 9th, 2012, 6:00am MDT

If you are a developer that has not yet jumped on the HTML5 bandwagon, you may want to seriously consider doing so. HTML5 has become the technology of choice over the basically defunct Flash, and its future looks extremely bright. Support for HTML5 has grown, and even tech giant Apple has praised it, so you know there must be something special that makes it so appealing. Even Adobe has conceded defeat to HTML5 and has started building new products around the language to help with the transition away from Flash. Many top websites have taken a liking to HTML5 as well, and others are sure to ...

Hovercard No matter what type of site you have, space is precious. You don't want pages that are filled with clutter, but you also don't want to omit important information or data just because you lack space. With the Hovercard jQuery plugin, you can make the most out of page space. Lightweight in nature, Hovercard allows visitors to view related information when they hover over a label, link, or other HTML element.

CSS Mega Menus: Adding Extra Sections

Posted: March 14th, 2012, 9:30am MDT

To back up this idea, in the first part of this two-part tutorial I implemented a sample mega menu. In that initial incarnation, the mega menu featured only a couple of fictional sections. Even though the sections included just a few common HTML elements, such as some H2 headers, paragraphs and links, they demonstrated how easy it is to semantically define the skeleton of a mega menu. Of course, something that carries the term mega on its shoulders must be huge enough in size to fully honor such a distinction, right? Well, since the first implementation of my example menu was made up of two...

A gig finder helps you book shows. Other free highlights include Facebook and Twitter integration, widgets...

CSS Mega Menus

Posted: March 7th, 2012, 9:30am MST

With a long and prosperous existence, drop-down menus are one of the most popular user interface elements on the web. Thanks to the support added by Internet Explorer for the :hover CSS pseudo-class for multiple HTML elements a few years ago (you know, not only for lt;a gt; tags), such menus can be implemented in a cross-browser fashion, without using JavaScript (in a nice evolution of the classic suckerfish dropdown). As with many other things in life, though, dropdowns evolved naturally to more complex structures, often composed of multiple nested levels. This evolution, sadly, dramatical...

MobileAppWizard Releases HTML5 App Builder

Posted: March 4th, 2012, 10:00pm MST

The New York Times used a 2011 article to describe HTML5 apps as being as visually rich and lively as device specific Apps of the past. Beyond these enriched characteristics that help to stimulate end users, the appeal of such apps comes from the fact that developers can employ HTML5's simplified approach when it comes to code. Thanks to HTML5, the need for additional plugin software is virtually eliminated without having to sacrifice any features or functionality. Whether you're aiming for browser applications or more entertainment related items such as animation, movies, or music, possi...

Oracle Purchases Taleo to Extend Cloud Computing

Posted: February 21st, 2012, 10:00pm MST

Oracle currently holds the position of being the world's second largest provider of business management software, while SAP is the leading provider of conventional software programs that clients install on their computing systems. Despite its trailing position in the traditional software market, Oracle's cloud computing offerings have grown in recent years thanks to a proactive strategy employed by company CEO Larry Ellison. Oracle purchased RightNow Technologies, a provider of cloud-based customer service software, for $1.5 billion last month. According to Evercore Partners, its current $1....

CSS3 Accordian Menu: Horizontally Display Hyperlinks

Posted: February 13th, 2012, 10:30am MST

Indeed, things get more complicated when it's necessary to construct a navigation bar (in any of its abundant flavors) that displays some form of animated behavior. In many cases, the process requires you to work with the complexities of raw JavaScript, or to climb the learning curve of one of the many JavaScript libraries available. A good example of such a situation is the development of the so-called accordion menus. There are jQuery plug-ins that allow you to build these popular user interfacing elements quickly and unobtrusively, while leaving the markup clear and pristine. Sometimes, ...

CSS Combinators: Working with Child Combinators

Posted: February 6th, 2012, 6:00am MST

If you're constantly in search of newer and more efficient methodologies that permit you to improve the overall quality of your CSS code, then take a peek at combinators. This underrated feature, bundled with the specification for a long time, will let you define the visual presentation of your web page elements by using fewer CSS classes and selectors. In this way, it can help you keep the markup much cleaner and unpolluted. If you've already read the two previous parts of this tutorial, you now have a solid background on how to work with CSS combinators. In those pieces I developed some exam...

HTML5 Boilerplate: Working with jQuery and Modernizr

Posted: February 1st, 2012, 1:00pm MST

Let's face it: developing HTML5 websites that can be rendered consistently across most mainstream browsers is a challenging task (even for experienced developers). The standard is still immature, and many browsers do not support certain features of the specification. It's no surprise that Internet Explorer is the worst offender here. Fortunately, there are a few tools that will help you to make the development process much less painful, trust me. A good example of such a tool is HTML5 Boilerplate. This powerful, full-featured HTML5 template permits you to deal more easily with the aforementio...

jQuery Accordion Image Menu Plugin If you want to know which plugin offers the best looking menus out of this list, the award would have to go to the Accordion Image Menu Plugin by the folks at Web Argument. Sites that emphasize images or entertainment would be complemented by this plugin, as it lets you create an accordion style menu that uses images as the background. Beyond the impressive look of the menu, various animation effects can also be implemented via jQuery UI Effects, such as back, bounce, and swing. Link: [web-argument.com] ...

CSS Combinators: Using General Siblings

Posted: January 24th, 2012, 10:00pm MST

As one of the most underrated facilities of the CSS specification, combinators are powerful tools that allow you to improve the assignment of styles to elements on a web page. While their functionality remained forgotten in a dark corner for many years, due to the lack of a proper support by some browser vendors (with Internet Explorer clearly leading the crowd), things have changed for good. Now it's possible to utilize them in a pretty cross-browser fashion. The best way to demonstrate how useful combinators can be is through some concrete, functional code samples. In keeping with this req...

HTML5 Boilerplate Introduction

Posted: January 22nd, 2012, 10:00pm MST

Despite the lack of support from Internet Explorer 7/8 for most of the features included with HTML5, it's hard to ignore the hype that the standard has generated. Even though the migration process was at first somewhat slow, the number of websites that now use HTML5 as their backbone has grown at an exponential rate. There's a good reason for that: while it can't be considered an actual revolution, HTML5 is undeniably an evolution toward the creation of richer, cleaner and more semantic web pages. Nevertheless, the path to building cross-browser HTML5-based websites often calls for a delicat...

Intro to CSS Combinators

Posted: January 19th, 2012, 6:00am MST

Combinators are quite possibly one of the most underrated features of CSS. However, the indifferent attitude with which programmers treat them wasn't because of their useless nature or limited functionality. In fact, as with many other forgotten facilities provided by the specification, many browser vendors included quot;support quot; for combinators that was buggy, poor, and in the worse case, simply non-existent. Despite this, today there's new hope for getting combinators up and running, as most browsers (yes, even Internet Explorer 7 and up) allow you to use them in a pretty confident ...

New API Platform for HTML5

Posted: January 17th, 2012, 6:00am MST

As for the reasoning behind the API platform's launch, AT amp;T's chief marketing officer David Christopher used the AT amp;T Developer Summit at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to say that it was done to address fragmentation issues. App developers typically have the tedious task of rewriting native applications for Android devices, BlackBerrys, iPhones, and Windows Phones. By creating HTML5 apps, the process is simplified, as users of different devices can access them via browsers, all while maintaining the look and feel of native apps. Christopher's stance was strengthened by ...

Top WordPress Plugins for Social Media

Posted: January 10th, 2012, 10:00pm MST

ShareThis Just as its name implies, ShareThis is a WordPress plugin that allows your visitors to easily share content from your site across a host of social networks and email. ShareThis isn't exactly one of the new kids on the block, as its creators claim that it has already been used on over one million sites. With that much of a presence, installing this plugin on your site is a good idea, since visitors will probably recognize it and know how it works. ShareThis adds easily recognizable icons to your posts that are large and vibrant in color. If a visitor wants to share your particular ...

BBC Adopts HTML 5, Mozilla Addresses Issues

Posted: January 2nd, 2012, 10:00pm MST

The move towards HTML5 means that the BBC followers who use various browsers and increasingly popular platforms such as Android and iOS will get to enjoy its wide variety of video content. It took some time for the BBC to finally make the transition to HTML5, as the company expressed concerns about how it would protect the widespread distribution of its proprietary content on the web in the absence of Flash's DRM controls. Rather than making the transformation in a single shot, the BBC ran a test program that instituted HTML5 solely on its site's Health section. Many criticized the company ...

CSS Semicircles and Web Page Headers

Posted: December 28th, 2011, 6:00am MST

Are you looking for a simple approach that lets you decorate your HTML elements with a few engaging circular shapes, but don't want to deal with the burdens and complexities of Photoshop? Then take a look at the border-radius CSS3 property. It not only will permit you to render native rounded corners in a snap, but it'll be your best partner for displaying circles on a web page without using background images. Of course, the best way to prove the hidden functionality provided by border-radius is with some concrete, functional code samples. In the first part of this two-part tutorial I de...

Advanced Sticky Footers in HTML and CSS

Posted: December 26th, 2011, 6:00am MST

Sticky footers are nothing but classic HTML footers, except that they're always displayed at the bottom of the web page, regardless of whether or not the page's primary contents occupy the entire browser display window. Got the logic behind this concept? Great. Though the term sticky might seem somewhat intimidating, the truth is that the implementation of this kind of popular footer is much easier than one might think. The entire process only requires that you define within the markup the footer area itself, and then place it at the bottom of the HTML document by utilizing some basic CSS...

Drawing Circular Shapes with CSS3 and Border Radius

Posted: December 20th, 2011, 10:00pm MST

Since they made their triumphal appearance on the stage of web design, some CSS3 properties have become the favorite tools of many designers because of the functionality they offer right out of the box. Many of these properties make it much easier to build eye-catching web pages that (hopefully) keep users engaged. While there's nothing wrong with using these properties in a quot;conventional quot; way, it's fun to take CSS3 to the next level by using the properties in a more atypical fashion. Doing this allows you, among other things, to create quite appealing effects. That's exactly the ...

HTML and CSS Sticky Footers

Posted: December 19th, 2011, 6:00am MST

The concept is far from being breaking news, I know, but the dynamic and evolving nature of the web quite often gives web designers new and demanding challenges. Today, not only is it of primary importance to create clean and solid web pages that neatly adhere to the standards, but it's necessary to spice them up with a few additional features that (hopefully) will keep users engaged and coming back for more. These requirements, though, are a doubled-edged sword that may end up hurting the functionality and accessibility of a website. In many cases, overloading a web page with a bunch of flash...

Strategy Analytics Predicts HTML5 Phones to Reach One Billion Sales in 2013

Posted: December 11th, 2011, 10:00pm MST

Commenting on some of the reasoning behind its projection, Strategy Analytics analyst Neil Shah said: Growth for HTML5 phones is being driven by robust demand from multiple hardware vendors and software developers in North America, Europe and Asia who want to develop rich media services across multiple platforms, including companies like Adobe, Apple, Google and Microsoft. We define an HTML5 phone as a mobile handset with partial or full support for HTML5 technology in the browser, such as the Apple iPhone 4S. Neil Mawston, Strategy Analytics' executive director, continued with additional re...

New UI Framework and SDK for JavaScript Released

Posted: December 8th, 2011, 10:00pm MST

Todd Anglin, the executive vice president Telerik's Kendo UI group, commented on the appeal of the new framework: Building applications and sites today with HTML5 and JavaScript is an exercise in self-assembling an array of libraries and toolsets to compose a platform that has all of the necessary components for development. This approach is acceptable for hobby projects, but it is fraught with support and licensing risks, it is difficult to maintain and upgrade, it is difficult to learn, and it wastes valuable development time. Kendo UI solves this problem by providing a unified framework w...

Removing Singletons in PHP

Posted: December 8th, 2011, 11:00am MST

Even though they look relatively harmless on the surface, when analyzed in depth, Singletons are in fact much more dangerous to good object-oriented programming design than one might think. Implementing Singletons, remember, demands the use of a static method, which opens the undesirable gates of global access. Singletons also introduce a strong coupling effect with any class that consumes them via its static method. They also break the Single Responsibility Principle, as they're not only responsible for performing the task that they were designed for (whatever it is), but for controlling clas...

CSS Pagination Links

Posted: December 6th, 2011, 12:30pm MST

The most difficult part of building a pagination system is the logic that must be implemented behind the scenes. In most cases, the tasks of calculating the number of links that will be displayed per page, as well as the amount of pages that will be used to span the corresponding content are performed by some kind of server-side component (even though some JavaScript libraries accomplish this quite decently in the client side). Of course, you don't need to reinvent the wheel every time you wish to drop a pagination mechanism onto your web pages. Currently there's a plethora of libraries and fr...

Singletons in PHP

Posted: December 5th, 2011, 10:30am MST

Though in the past they enjoyed both popularity and a certain amount of prestige, without a doubt Singletons have progressively become one of the most evil and despicable villains in object-oriented design. Singletons earned their bad reputation for a reason: bringing them to life requires the programmer to deal at least with a static method. This is simply an elegant masquerade for creating a global access point (which in most cases is mutable as well) throughout an entire application. And we all know that global, mutable access is unquestionably a bad thing that must be avoided at all costs....

JavaScript OpenPGP Tool, Node.js 0.6.3 Available

Posted: December 1st, 2011, 10:00pm MST

The integration of NPM into Node.js gives its users a simplified, yet solid avenue for packaging and distributing libraries of code. NPM has become accepted as the community standard when it comes to Node.js packaging, so its addition is one that is welcome with open arms. While the NPM addition is a step in the right direction for Node.js, version 0.6.3 does come with some problems of its own, such as the incorrect installation of man pages. An upcoming 0.6.4 release will supposedly take care of the issue, and it will also include the option to forego installation of NPM to accommodate tho...

HTML5 Guidelines for Web Developers

Posted: November 29th, 2011, 9:30am MST

Title: HTML5 Guidelines for Web Developers Authors: Klaus FÃÂ¶rster amp; Bernd Ã-ggl Publisher: Addison - Wesley ISBN: 978-0-321-77274-9 Considering the tumultuous hype that HTML5 has generated in the last few months, it's reasonable to think that many web developers out there will feel eager to migrate from the HTML4/XHTML tandem to the new standard, and start experiencing the many new features that it provides right out the box. Well, if you fall into this category, the book HTML5 Guidelines for Web Developers by Klaus FÃÂ¶rster and Bernd Ã-ggl is definitely worth a look. In my personal opini...

Animated CSS3 Image Gallery: Advanced Transitions

Posted: November 28th, 2011, 6:00am MST

Although the idea may sound intimidating, building a dynamic (and by dynamic I mean animated quot;) image gallery using a few CSS3 properties is much easier than you might think. Indeed, in the previous part of this series, I implemented a simple, yet extendable image gallery, which used the transition CSS3 property to dynamically hide and display a given image when users hovered their cursors on its associated thumbnail. Best of all, the entire animation process didn't require coding a single line of JavaScript. As with any other web-based user interface component, it's possible to easily...

CSS3 Animated Image Gallery: Transitions

Posted: November 23rd, 2011, 10:00am MST

Since the beginning of the Internet, image galleries have been one of the most overused (and sometimes misused) user interface elements available. There's a good reason for this timeless popularity: supported by HTTP from its first incarnation, images were (and are) a powerful tool for delivering content to users in a refreshing and effective way, without condemning them to long lines of arid and dull text. As one might expect, image galleries have gone through a constant and healthy evolution process. This process ranged from primitive implementations that relied heavily on a bunch of lt;im...

Photoshop Text Techniques: Transformers

Posted: November 21st, 2011, 10:00pm MST

For that quot;More than meets the eye quot; look, it's going to be important that you have the right font. Now there are several fonts that duplicate that font, such as Transformers (natch) and SF Transbotics. Make sure that when you download the fonts that you install them before you start, and don't have any software that uses text open. Once you've installed the font and then open Photoshop, you should see the newly installed font appear on your font list. Step 1 Now you need to open a new blank document. Let's start with these specs: 540Ã 300 at 72ppi (pixels per inch). Press the D key to...
