We all love Photoshop and many of you will use it for hours on a daily basis. The question is, have you ever been in a situation where Photoshop isn’t installed on a computer you are using?

Of course you have. This is why this post is important.

Thanks to expertly crafted libraries such as jQuery and MooTools, JavaScript has become a foundation of Front-End Development. However, it’s extremely important that we note the higher level concepts utilized in these wonderful libraries. Why is that? As web developers, we must equally balance learning the current programming trends with attempts to push the boundaries of those trends. Without this balance, no innovation will occur in web development. So let’s take a moment to appreciate the fundamentals of JavaScript Object Oriented Programming, which include classes, inheritance, and scope.

This is my third tutorial on the Google Maps API v3. I’m going to show you how to use some other google maps features by building an interactive travel map.

You’ve probably heard a lot about the new HTML5 canvas element. As the name implies, this is a special element that allows us to create and modify graphics. In addition, we can also use it like any other element on the page – apply jQuery animations on it, listen for events and integrate it deeply into our layouts.

All uses of canvas you’ve come so far are probably limited to games and other proof of concept demos. Today, however, we are doing something practical – we are making a progressively enhanced slideshow with a fancy transitioning effect, which is perfectly functional in older browsers as well.

The CSS2.1 spec introduced a new technique allowing developers to combine three CSS properties and a pseudo-element to create auto-incrementing counters — similar to what is displayed in an ordered list.

While counters for lists are limited to <ol> or <ul> elements and only with simple incrementation, the new counter method introduced in CSS2.1 allows for integers to be prepended to any set of elements, and is quite flexible.

This technique is a bit confusing because it uses multiple CSS properties, and looks different than most CSS code. I hope to clarify how it’s used and I’ll run down some possible ways it can be implemented, along with some benefits and drawbacks.

Female artworks are a very common subject for digital artists, whether they are done in 3D using computer graphics software or drawn by hand using a mouse or tablet.

“Night photography refers to photographs taken outdoors between dusk and dawn. Night photographers generally have a choice between using artificial light or using a long exposure, exposing the scene for seconds or even minutes, in order to give the film enough time to capture a usable image, and to compensate for reciprocity failure. With the progress of high-speed films, higher-sensitivity digital image sensors, wide-aperture lenses, and the ever-greater power of urban lights, night photography is increasingly possible using available light.” according to Wikipedia. Today I collected some of the most beautiful examples of night photography to inspire the photographer’s community. Enjoy!

HTML5 is the wave of the future when it comes to web development, so it is advantageous to get a head start on your competition by learning the essential tips, tricks and techniques with HTML5 that you can start using in your projects today, as well as ones you’ll be using in the future.

The goal of any great website is to provide quality content for its readers and clients, though no website can be truly successful if it cannot provide the content in a timely manner. How much time is acceptable isn’t always up to you though. It’s in the eyes of the beholder, hence the readers.

If you have a flash based website that is media heavy, and your users knows is, they will probably be ok waiting a minute or two while your page loads. Though, if on the other hand you have a mostly text based website and it takes two minutes to load, there is 99.99% chance the person will not wait. These days, people want information and websites to be practically instantaneous.

Traffic on your blog represents everything from your popularity in the marketplace to your income and lifestyle, making it very important to track.

Here are 10 WordPress plugins to monitor your blog’s traffic that makes checking your traffic as easy as pushing a button or clicking a link.

HTML5 Elements

The table below shows the 104 elements currently in the HTML5 working draft and two proposed elements (marked with an asterisk).

The HTML5 <video> element is already supported by most modern browsers, and even IE has support announced for version 9. There are many advantages of having video embedded natively in the browser (covered in the article Introduction to HTML5 video by Bruce Lawson), so many developers are trying to use it as soon as possible. There are a couple of barriers to this that remain, most notably the problem of which codecs are supported in each browser, with a disagreement between Opera/Firefox and IE/Safari. That might not be a problem for much longer though, with Google recently releasing the VP8 codec, and the WebM project coming into existence. Opera, Firefox, Chrome and IE9 all have support in final builds, developer builds, or at least support announced for this format, and Flash will be able to play VP8. This means that we will soon be able to create a single version of the video that will play in the <video> element in most browsers, and the Flash Player in those that don't support WebM natively.

Joomla!? Nah. WordPress? Been there, done that. Yes, we all know about LightCMS and Business Catalyst, but what else is out there?

Tytuł brzmi nieco niedo­rzecz­nie, co? Język stwo­rzony do tworze­nia stron WWW posłuży nam do mani­pu­lo­wa­nia plikami multi­me­dial­nymi. Za sprawą Vladi­mira Goreja i jego skryptu FFmpeg PHP opubli­ko­wa­nego na phpclasses.org jest to możliwe.

Skrypt korzy­sta z biblio­tek ffmpeg (wersji na Windowsa chyba nie ma). Mając duży plik na serwe­rze możemy wycią­gać z niego takie rzeczy jak czas trwa­nia, liczba klatek na sek., szero­kość i wyso­kość, bitrate i inne. Najistot­niej­szą dla nas funk­cją jest możli­wość wycią­gnię­cia danej klatki z pliku i zapi­sa­nie go na dysku w postaci pliku jpg.

The icons you get for your computer’s shortcuts are separate from developer set icons. While creating a program, web application, or website developers have to come up with small images for buttons, shortcuts, etc. The icons used here come in the form of developer icon sets.

Najpopularniejszym serwisem dostarczającym mapy w Internecie jest Google Maps. Nie oznacza to, że konkurencja pogodziła się z porażką na tym polu. Jedną z ciekawszych alternatyw dla Google Maps jest Bing Maps. Oprócz API dostępnego w języku Javascript programiści mogą korzystać z Silverlighta oraz usług sieciowych. Co więcej, programiści PHP również mają możliwość korzystania z map Bing. Gdyby nie jeden drobny szkopuł, Google mogłoby poważnie obawiać się konkurencji ze strony Bing Maps. Niestety mapy w wydaniu Bing nie są zlokalizowane na polski rynek i wyszukanie adresu lub trasy dojazdu graniczy z cudem.

I’m sure there are a few vector illustrators out there who could draw some inspiration from the faces of some of these interesting sea creatures.
