Here’s a 3D CSS Animated Image Carousel that I created while I was learning about 3D CSS animation. Watch the video above to see the technique in action. If you’re on a 3D CSS animation capable browser (currently a non-production version of MAC Safari and mobile Safari in the iPhone and iPod Touch), go ahead [...]
I’ve created my first jQuery plugin this week – it’s an image overlay plugin (the static pic above doesn’t do the plugin justice, so click through to see it in action). Creating a jQuery plugin isn’t that big a stretch for a competent JavaScript developer. There are quite a few tutorials out there where you [...]
I created a new version of my particle demo using the HTML5 <canvas>. This version is full screen, inspired by this amazing canvas demo at Iteration Six. I’d seen their demo prior to my starting to tinker with the canvas tag, but I never really tore it apart and looked inside. From what it appears, [...]
Here’s a cool particle demonstration of the HTML5 <canvas> tag. It’s a tremendously small amount of JavaScript code that is responsible for pushing some radial gradient particles around a canvas. You can check out the source code to see how things are done – it uses jQuery a bit and the demo itself uses a [...]
I’ve been focusing a lot lately on demonstrating some CSS animation techniques. That’s all fine and well, but there is definitely a need for some instructional material on the web. To that end, check out this CSS animation tutorial that I just finished. It will teach you some techniques that are useful today in a [...]
ASP.NET Ajax is a good technology in theory, but the implementation in practice is anything but smooth. There are many little ‘quirks’ that ASP.NET Ajax does to your page; these quirks almost entirely revolve around the handling of viewstate during ajax calls. ASP.NET Ajax passes the viewstate to the server and back during things like [...]
I’ve been working on some demonstrations on how to combine jQuery UI and CSS animations for some pretty neat effects. Not to pimp my other businesses too much or anything, but check out blaq design if you want to see an eCommerce site done up with jQuery UI as well.
The jQuery UI themeroller is a fun way to experiment with theme creation for the jQuery UI widgets and other visual elements. Even better, you can distribute a theme solely via URL. Here’s an example of a theme I created – let’s call it Desperately Wanting 3D.
The jQuery framework has been around for about three years now. It’s rapidly becoming the go-to JavaScript framework – it has the most plugins, serious support from the likes of Microsoft and Nokia, and it is easier to use than many other frameworks. There’s an even cooler technology out there nowadays, though – jQuery UI. [...]
Did you get the chance to read that Visual Studio will be shipping with jQuery support included in the future? This news just made my day, more or less. If you aren’t in the know, jQuery is a really well developed JavaScript framework library. It includes support for things like making AJAX requests, easy DOM [...]
