Treesaver Public Beta
I first heard about Treesaver on The Big Web Show #18. It is a HTML, CSS, JavaScript framework that automatically transforms content to fit any screen size. It is designed to display content as individual pages like most eReaders (e.g. Kindle, iBooks, etc).
The team behind the library includes Roger Black who has apparently "designed more magazines than you'll ever read." Roger also worked on the Times Reader and the influence that project had on Treesaver is clear.
The platform itself will be open sourced and available for anyone to use. The makers of Treesaver will be using it to publish Nomad Editions -- their own online magazines -- as well as being available to design publications for others.
SVG with a little help from Raphaël
Vector graphics can be hugely helpful, but can be difficult to deal with across various browsers. We used Raphaël on our Donq.com site and found it to be extremely useful.
Been meaning to post this for a while now, but if you have not seen it yet, I recommend this article on SVG and Raphaël over at ALA.
Flash Vs HTML5
The Flash Vs HTML5 debate has caused much discussion over the recent months and it certainly got us thinking here at Code. We believe the two technologies are not in competition and each have their purpose, but thought it might be amusing to actually put them in direct competition. Flash is on the left and the HTML5 Canvas is on the right.
Funny. I keep saying that hybrid uses of Flash and Web Standards make a lot of sense;)
