Microsoft is not ready to let Silverlight loose against Canvas

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Microsoft is honest in the recent blog post about using one platform to build another by saying that “some people have gone as far as to suggest HTML 5 could eliminate the need for Flash and Silverlight”. Yes, we do want to go that far and we don’t want Flash or Silverlight addons / plugins (call them however you like) in our fully capable, HTML 5 compliant web browser! I mean, why should we want them if Canvas is perfectly capable of achieving the same task ? Well, one of the answer is due to Microsoft’s own Internet Explorer: as of version 8, it still doesn’t support the Canvas element. And Microsoft’s solution is pretty funny: we don’t support the Canvas element but look, our own Silverlight can do it. There is no way you won’t install Silverlight now, right ? Wrong !

The survery for people who make websites

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0000

As they did last year, the popular A List Apart publishes a survey for people who make websites. “Calling all designers, developers, information architects, project managers, writers, editors, marketers, and everyone else who makes websites. It is time once again to pool our information so as to begin sketching a true picture of the way our profession is practiced worldwide.”

“Remove the web, and billions in trade disappear. Websites enable people who can’t walk to run to the store. They bring knowledge and freedom of thought to places where such things are scarce; make every person with a connection a citizen of the world; and allow every citizen to be heard. Yet nobody bothered to conduct a serious inquiry into the working conditions of people who make websites until A List Apart launched its first survey in 2007.

Add some DHTML to your OpenLaszlo exports

Ajaxian, Antun Karlovac and Raju Bitter report that the 4.1 version of OpenLaszlo has finally been released and can now generate DHTML in addition to the already existing SWF output format. The project started in March 2006 and took the team behind this free Adobe Flex competitor more than two years of development… but the wait was worth it !

Code documentation is all there is to happiness

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0000

You might be tempted to think like I did when I coded older web sites: “why would I want to spend my time documenting some pretty easy lines of code instead of developing tons of greater and funnier features ? That’s pure nonsense and a huge waste of time for a simple web site!”

I couldn’t be more wrong as there are a lot of benefits to documenting your code. It doesn’t take that long and it might even be fun if you use the right tools.
