Long but good post from Ben Ward clearing up some confusion about some people’s perception of the open web.
“New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.” —
Tell us what you really think Steve.
Here is another CSS3 experiment I threw together using the new CSS3 properties border-radius, rgba backgrounds, box shadows and, if you’re using Chrome or Safari, transitions. Chrome, Safari, and Firefox only!
I hadn’t played much with the new CSS3 text-shadow spec until I saw this. Check out the sweet effect David Desandro has going on in his site’s footer. Pure CSS3. Which of course means it only works in the latest most greatest of browsers. Just for fun I put together my own implentation. Check it out below.
The Mobile Web vs. the Objective-C Web -
An interesting post from Cameron Moll on the future of the web on mobile devices. Thanks to the iPhone OS there has been a shift in the way people consume the web. He talks about the NPR iPad application and how much better of an experience it is than NPR.org. Moll is concerned that the quick adoption of iPhone OS devices and the momentum of app development may lead content creators to begin choosing Objective-C and the iPhone OS (also the iPad OS) as the starting point rather than HTML/CSS & the browser. I don’t see this shift happening anytime soon but after playing with the NPR iPad app I’d have to agree that the user experience is impressive. Click the link above, it’s worth the read.
