Christmas is coming

The Christmas is coming and the year is ending, but so is this blog. I have realized the path I have chosen here – to cover mainly the coding side of the web, is not as fulfilling as I expected. Since I feel I have much wider spectrum of topics to share and contribute to, I will restart the blog and my website in general, but this time widening the focus (hopefully not getting too vague) and covering:

  • web and graphic design news, spiced with some HTML5 and Javascript coolness
  • personal portfolio – things I do for living but also things I do for fun (photography, web design, games and apps for mobile platforms)
  • in depth case studies of my photo, animation and design projects stirred up with useful tips and reviews of the tools I am using
  • (probably) some off-topic posts on inspiring and innovative approaches to technology, architecture and product design

So this is the last post to this blog but the new site should be up in a few weeks time. The new URL will be www.kristjansen.ee but the old one will be  active for some time as well. Hope you enjoyed the posts and see you soon! Meanwhile check out this HTML5 calendar :)

HTML5 lurks around the corner

There is no doubt – HTML5 is coming, and  probably sooner than you think. The number of websites dedicated to exposing its virtues is endless. So mr.Flash, you should probably be afraid. Here are some good examples, of what HTML5 is capable of (note that the examples may not be visible in older and less advanced browsers at this point).

There are loads of experiments on the linked sites, so feel free to surf around. For further digging check out Chrome experiments and 23 essential HTML5 resourcesOr maybe its not over afterall? (installing flash on iPad)
Update on the iPad/Flash topic: EU law might force Apple to allow Flash

Sencha Touch – HTML5 Mobile App Framework

This framework looks promising. A word from the authors’ website: “The First HTML5 Mobile App Framework Sencha Touch allows you to develop web apps that look and feel native on Apple iOS and Google Android touchscreen devices.”

HTML5 is getting more and more attention. Here are some visuals and examples of how it’s supported and what it can do.

Nice visual of browser support and explanation of its elements.
