We have got new chrome experiments to showcase again! Always look forward for this post to show you what have been happening in HTML 5 and javascript development. Make sure you check out each of the experiment here, pretty sure they will blow you away!

The CSS3 text-shadow property has been around for some time now and is commonly used to recreate Photoshop’s Drop Shadow type shading to add subtle shadows which help add depth, dimension and to lift an element from the page. This isn’t all the text-shadow property is capable of though, by getting creative and playing around with the colours, offset and blurring we can create some clever and pretty cool text effects!

Following on from part 1 of my follow-up to “Object-oriented JavaScript”, part 2 provides a technical update to some of the theories and examples.

Without further a-do, let’s jump in with the technical stuff:

Did you know you can make triangles with pure CSS? It’s pretty easy. You just make a block level element with zero width and height, a colored border on one side, and transparent borders on the two adjacent sides. They are fun for all kinds of things, like little arrow sticking out from speech bubbles, navigation pointers, and more. Often times these are just visual flourishes, undeserving of dedicated markup. Fortunately, pseduo elements are often a perfect fit. That is, using :before, :after, or both to create these block level elements and place the triangle. One neat use that came to mind in this vein: breadcrumb navigation.

There’s a lot involved in photography, and so many things to remember it can be overwhelming, especially for beginners. Cameras can seem complicated, and photo editing software is packed with features. Then there are concepts like lighting and composition that must be mastered in order to achieve those perfect shots. With so many things to learn, sometimes a little help is welcomed. So for this post, we’ve rounded up a collection of photography cheat sheets and quick references that should come in very handy.

Lets be honest, CSS would typically not be the first technology you would go to for building a visually effective interactive graph or chart, certainly not without at least a touch of Javascript. There are quite a few technologies you would think, Flash comes to mind first, followed by Javascript (thousands of jQuery plugins), you may even go for an SVG chart, or you may even like to use a graphic editor with interactive capabilities like Fireworks or Photoshop.

Having said all that, creating a pure CSS chart that is both visually beautiful and highly interactive, especially with CSS3, is very much possible, as this round-up proves.

In infrared photography, the film or image sensor used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging.

Just for your inspiration, we have collected 35+ Stunning Examples of Infrared Photography

Most beginners in development and designing will not look deeply into accessibility, the purpose of this article is to educate beginners as early as possible of the possible pitfalls and how to avoid them. It is like a cookie jar is atop the shelf and a kid is trying to reach it but can’t. What happens next? Frustration enters! Not providing a way for your visitors to get a grab of that cookie jar is very not fine, especially when they really need it.

If you’re a designer or developer, you’ve probably heard about Git, and you might know that it has become immensely popular, especially among the open source community.

These fancy looking buttons brings together CSS3's border-radius, box-shadow, and linear gradients to create glossy looking menu buttons that use NO images. They consist of just a regular UL list that can easily be left, centered, or right aligned. Visually these buttons look best in FF3.5+, Chrome, and Safari 4+, while in other browsers, they still look presentable enough.

In the last years, the USB flash memory drives have evolved a lot, from the capacity of 256mb to 128gb and maybe even more. The interesting thing is that their capacity isn’t the only thing that evolved, the design also suffered some lovely changes. New and inventive designs are put on memory sticks almost every week, the products being either really cheap and accessible or expensive and luxurious. In this article, you will see the coolest of all USB flash drive collection, having bad ass looking drives, useful ones, crazy looking ones but more important, inventive and interesting pieces of work.

Everyone has heard of Adobe Photoshop. It is one of the most popular and expensive image editing programs you can buy. For those of you who do not have the hundreds of dollars to plop down on software I have compiled a list of nice photo editing applications you can use instead.

This script adds near-native PNG support with alpha opacity to IE 5.5 and 6. Now you can have full translucency and no more ugly grey borders! Full CSS background positioning and repeat are supporting (including CSS sprites). It requires only one line in your CSS file, and no changes to your website HTML. <IMG> tags and background images are both supported.

CSS3 gradients are available to use in Webkit (Safari, Chrome) and Mozilla (Firefox) browsers. They’re not exactly new but I only recently started using them consistently myself so I’ve put together this quick article.

FYI this isn’t the holy grail of CSS3 gradients, it’s more of a reminder for me or quick getting started guide.
