Sneaking into Future: 25 Ultra Modern Websites Using HTML5 HTML5, the next major revision of HTML, the language of the internet, is set to revolutionize the way web developers and designers create websites and the way visitors use them. It’s being edited by Ian Hickson of Google and David Hyatt of Apple, two of the web’s greatest creative minds. Besides enabling web developers/designers to use cleaner, simpler, more consistent code, HTML5 will help them break free from the confines of 3rd party proprietary plugins like Adobe Flash. For the first time, it will be possible to achieve consistency between video player interfaces and overall website design. Users will be able to rotate, move, resize and even detect motion in a video while its playing, using inbuilt video controls. Through HTML5’s canvas element, users will be able to render graphics and images on the fly, again without the need for plugins. 1. 2.

How Computers Boot Up - Serie cap 2 The previous post described [motherboards and the memory map] memory-map in Intel computers to set the scene for the initial phases of boot. Booting is an involved, hacky, multi-stage affair - fun stuff. Here’s an outline of the process: Things start rolling when you press the power button on the computer (no! do tell!). If all is well the CPU starts running. Most registers in the CPU have well-defined values after power up, including the instruction pointer (EIP) which holds the memory address for the instruction being executed by the CPU. The motherboard ensures that the instruction at the reset vector is a jump to the memory location mapped to the BIOS entry point. The CPU then starts executing BIOS code, which initializes some of the hardware in the machine. After the POST the BIOS wants to boot up an operating system, which must be found somewhere: hard drives, CD-ROM drives, floppy disks, etc. The BIOS now reads the first 512-byte sector (sector zero) of the hard disk.

HTML5Rocks - "Offline": What does it mean and why should I care? Introduction: The Meaning of "Offline" "Web" and "online" are two closely associated terms, downright synonymous to many people. So why on earth would we talk about "offline" web technologies, and what does the term even mean? At one level, we can talk about completely offline web apps, those unusual creatures that run inside a browser, but never see the light of the internet. Typically, they will run on a URI, pointing to a hard drive, USB key, or DVD (if you remember those). For example, those USB keys you sometimes get at conferences, which you stick in your computer to receive a multimedia presentation of something-or-other, running in your browser. However, it gets more nuanced than "always-offline". There are also online-offline applications which intentionally keep certain information locally. Online-offline applications comes at the cost of increased complexity, and you ought to consider whether offline support is justified. Application Cache and Offline Storage Cookies

code · Video for Everybody! Video for Everybody is simply a chunk of HTML code that embeds a video into a website using the HTML5 <video> element, falling back to Flash automatically without the use of JavaScript or browser-sniffing. It therefore works in RSS readers (no JavaScript), on the iPhone / iPad (don’t support Flash) and on many browsers and platforms. Thanks to the rapid adoption of HTML5 video happening right now, Video for Everybody isn’t the only solution around. It is not a neatly packaged, fully-featured solution for those unfamiliar with HTML. VfE is for developers who either want something really simple they can quickly use on their blog or websites, or as a good starting point to develop their own custom solution. It does not use JavaScript. How It Works If your browser supports it, HTML5 video is used. If HTML5 video is not supported, Adobe Flash is used.

Motherboard Chipsets and the Memory Map - Serie cap 1 I’m going to write a few posts about computer internals with the goal of explaining how modern kernels work. I hope to make them useful to enthusiasts and programmers who are interested in this stuff but don’t have experience with it. The focus is on Linux, Windows, and Intel processors. To start off let’s take a look at how an Intel computer is wired up nowadays. \ Diagram for modern motherboard. As you look at this, the crucial thing to keep in mind is that the CPU doesn’t really know anything about what it’s connected to. In a motherboard the CPU’s gateway to the world is the front-side bus connecting it to the northbridge. Now comes the rub. When the northbridge receives a physical memory request it decides where to route it: should it go to RAM? \ Memory layout for the first 4 gigabytes in an Intel system. Actual addresses and ranges depend on the specific motherboard and devices present in the computer, but most Core 2 systems are pretty close to the above. 112 Comments
Comment ajouter le logo HTML5 animé en 3D à vos pages web grâce à <canvas> – David Rousset – HTML5 & Gaming Technical Evangelist Ce soir, j’avais envie de jouer avec la balise <canvas> pour faire un truc qui ne sert à rien : afficher le logo 3D animé d’HTML5 en haut à gauche d’une page de mon blog. C’est vrai quoi. Pourquoi n’aurais-je pas le droit de me changer un peu les idées en codant des trucs qui ne servent à rien ?!? Figurez-vous que ce fut extrêmement simple. Il ne m’a donc plus que fallu bidouiller tout ça pour obtenir le résultat que vous voyez sur cette page. Je l’ai également inséré sur mes 2 premiers articles consacrés à SVG et Canvas : - Introduction aux APIs graphiques d’HTML5: SVG & Canvas (1/4) - Introduction aux APIs graphiques d’HTML5: SVG & Canvas (2/4) Si vous naviguez dans la page, vous verrez que le petit logo suit votre niveau de scrolling vertical. Si vous aussi vous voulez perturber le lecteur en affichant un machin qui tourne en 3D et qui ne sert à rien, copiez simplement ces 3 lignes de déclaration d’import de scripts à la fin de votre page : Et le tour est joué !
