The Google Chrome Team has authored an online book addressing some common topics on the Internet. It not only offers awesome examples of what you can do with HTML5/CSS3/JS, but is also a good book about the Internet in general. As a developer, I particularly like the section on how older browsers are slowing down innovation on the Internet. Take a look and let us know what you think in the comments.

Looking for a creative new way to make your website stand out?
Additions to Safari now make it possible to do 3D transformations of HTML elements. To give these transformations a whirl, I made this slideshow.
Not all browsers support these features. But Webkit does, which means that all iOS devices can take advantage of them. The technical aspects of CSS 3D are more than I want to get into here. The key point is that websites on these devices can now be much more visually creative.
Somewhere along the line it became clear that not all Safaris are alike. For instance, mobile Safari on the iPad (iOS 3.2.2) does not render reflections when a 3D transformation is applied to an element. Neither does Safari for Windows 5.0.2. But mobile Safari for the iPhone 4 and the latest version of Safari for MacOS do render reflections, even if a 3D transformation is applied.
One Pretty Darn Superior Website
You do the math. Our partner relationship with Paragon Development Systems (PDS) led GS to be part of the equation in producing major website enhancements for pdspc.com. In a collaborative effort between GS’s strategy, copy writing, user experience architect, web design, and front-end development teams and PDS’s tech team, Sr. Web developer, and Catalog Specialist, GS helped make that plus sign a positive for both PDS and its website users.
CNBC is running an article about Apple’s iPad adoption rate. To summarize, it’s pretty hot.
“iPad sold three million units in the first 80 days after its April release and its current sales rate is about 4.5 million units per quarter, according to Bernstein Research.”
“At this current rate, the iPad will pass gaming hardware and the cellular phone to become the 4th biggest consumer electronics category with estimated sales of more than $9 billion in the U.S. next year, according to Bernstein. TVs, smart phones and notebook PCs are the current three largest categories.”
Whether you think the iPad is revolutionary or an expensive toy, it would be best to pay attention to these numbers.
