Hi, I'm Thomas Fuchs. I'm the author of the script.aculo.us user interface JavaScript library, a member of the Prototype core team and a Ruby on Rails core alumnus.

So, we code web sites by hand. And one day, it hit us: our web workflow was wonky. We'd have our text editor open, with Transmit open to save files to the server. We'd be previewing in Safari, adjusting SQL in a Terminal, using a CSS editor and reading references on the web. "This could be easier," we declared. "And much cooler."

Even though Fullsize is not currently in the next HTML spec (yet :), you can still get Fullsize for FREE! I created a jQuery Plug-In that does just what is described above and what you see in the video below. Since there is no fullsize attribute for the tag yet, I am using the longdesc attribute instead. longdesc is a completely valid image attribute and is meant to contain a URL to a description of the image. The Fullsize jQuery plug-in is super easy to use, and provides a kick start to standardizing the way image pop-ups look and work.

Before building a web application it's useful to sketch the pages and talk them through with the client. We call these sketches mockups. Instead of emailing the pictures to our clients, we upload them to mocklinkr.com. In just a few minutes (really), we turn the pictures into a prototype our clients can play with. Our clients love using a "working" system and we get better feedback because they're hands-on instead of imagining how it would work. Also, with prospective clients we can quickly and concretely demonstrate our understanding of their needs.

Our company is dedicated to the website design and implementation of user-centered websites that give organizations a serious competitive edge through consistent and clear communication to customers in a powerful medium.

Current HTML5 Demos Our most recent demo is a sample company home page written using HTML5's features. We also have some examples from a Google tech talk showing some HTML5 demos written on the fly. Some of the demos, as well as the video from the talk, are available online. Older demos These demos were created to show some of the features of Web Forms 2. Not all these features were kept, but the demos remain for those looking at the history of HTML5. Repetition model A simple demonstration of the repetition model of Web Forms 2.0 Prefilling the repetition model A simple demonstration of the form prefilling features of the repetition model of Web Forms 2.0 The "datetime" type A simple demonstration of the datetime input type of Web Forms 2.0 Controls belonging to multiple forms A simple demonstration of the form attribute in Web Forms 2.0

The great thing about web design is that we have an enormous range of styles, techniques and ideas to implement when designing a website. You can go from Super Clean and Minimal Layouts to Colorful Layouts, and you can use Huge Typography or Hand Drawn elements, as long as you keep your style and give your website your own personality. As illustration is somewhere in between those options and is something that can give your website a very unique touch, we decided to gather a selection of illustrated websites to inspire you.

Script that renders your TTF's in any browser

HyperDither is an OS X image processing utility that converts color or grayscale images to 1 bit black & white using a sophisticated dithering routine. Way back in the early days of Macintosh, Bill Atkinson (of HyperCard, QuickDraw, MacPaint & nature photography fame) developed a very elegant dithering filter to convert greyscale image data to the 1 bit black & white Mac video display. The dithering produced by this routine was much higher quality than the now-a-days ubiquitous Floyd-Steinberg or "Error-diffusion" filter (used by QuickTime, PhotoShop).

The dither matrix was implemented an option in Apple's HyperScan software (A HyperCard stack with some XCMDs/XFCNs) that would connect to a flatbed scanner. HyperScan, and hence the most-excellent Atkinson dithering routine, has been unavailable for many, many years-but not forgotten! I was able to email Bill Atkinson in January, 2003 and inquire about the details of the algorithm; he was kind enough to respond with a brief write up of the routine-15 minutes later I had it up and running.
It's taken a few spare afternoons since 2003 to pack everything into a nice little application with documentation and an icon-better late than never!

Zoomifyer EZ makes high-quality images fast and easy to view! It's simple to use, just drag any image onto the Zoomify Converter, then copy the folder it creates to your web site - no special setup is needed. Your site visitors use a tiny Flash movie as the 'viewer' - so there's nothing to download or install. And it's completely free - no strings!

The very recent announcements from Microsoft ("The Future of the Web is HTML5"), Apple ("We are betting big on HTML5") and Google ("New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too)") prove that, while HTML5 is still a work in progress, W3C is increasing implementation experience and building community support. W3C organized an HTML5 camp in the W3C track @ WWW2010. We started with a contextual presentation about HTML5 and a whole range of other W3C technologies which contribute to the ever-expanding Web platform (including CSS3, SVG, and Canvas). Cool slides demonstrated what can already be achieved in most browsers these days. In particular, do not miss the "Rough View of the Future", the funny "Memory Game", the "XHTML5/SVG Video Player", and "Beyond HTML5". To reinforce how simple and easy it is to use Web standards, Philippe Le Hégaret did a live coding session of a SVG/HTML5 video player. Philippe pointed out that, while a lot of work remains on the HTML5 specification inside the HTML Working Group, things are moving forward. Doug Schepers also drew "wow!" and "ahhh!" with his presentation on The Graphical Web, where he demonstrated the features and differences of SVG and Canvas. These graphics technologies complement each other well, and both technologies are enjoying broad support across browsers. HTML5 is getting a lot of coverage nowadays and it's certainly an exciting time to work in Web standards. We look forward to providing even cooler demos in the months and years ahead!
