Post pobrano z: Incompatible Browser Alerts: Free The Foxes

And, with the increasing usage of HTML5+CSS3, they are becoming incompatible with more and more browsers everyday.

Free The Foxes is a free JavaScript+HTML+CSS-based solution for displaying good-looking notifications to visitors with a incompatible browser.

With the help of a simple configuration file, it is possible to rate browsers and their versions where the notification window displays result according to these ratings.

The window also guides users to download a better browser with the options and their download links.

Post pobrano z: jQuery Time Tracker With localStorage: jTrack

jTrack is a time tracking application that is built with jQuery and works without SQL, sessions or cookies.

It rather uses the localStorage with the help of DOMCached and jquery-json plugins.

The application enables you to add any number of tasks and starts tracking the time for each when a "start" button is clicked.

jTrack is a pretty simple tracker which is suitable to be integrated into other applications or tracking the time in the most plain way.

Also, it is a good resource to see "how localStorage can be used with jQuery".

Powerful Video Encoding Platform: Panda

06/05/2010 admin Dodaj komentarz

Post pobrano z: Powerful Video Encoding Platform: Panda

With the rise of HTML5, formats like H.264 or OGG is being used much more everyday besides the well-known FLV (and yes, there is HD too).

In order to be compatible with every device and browser, you may need to serve multiple formats of the same video (like Youtube or Vimeo does).

And, with new videos being uploaded every minute, this can be a complex situation.

Panda is an online platform that enables you to convert videos into multiple formats in the cloud.

With a REST-based API, the platform not only helps encoding the videos, but the uploading process as well.

How Does It Work?

It is actually pretty simple and you can be up & going within hours (including the uploading and encoding of them).

create a form on your site which includes the provided Flash file upload component
user starts uploading the video (Panda displays a progress bar) and, once uploaded, it is added to the encoding queue
Panda submits you the ID of the video being encoded and puts it to your S3 bucket + updates you back when it is completed
That's it, you're ready to stream.

The platform offers ready to use codes for integration like a jQuery client uploader, PHP, Python libraries and a gem for Ruby.

Rather than pricing the service on a per-video basis, Panda provides you a dedicated cloud where you can encode an unlimited number of videos.

It is currently in public beta and free during this period. After that, a dedicated cloud of any size can be chosen depending on the processing power required.

P.S. This is a sponsored post.

MooTools Image Slider With HTML5: Gradually

06/05/2010 admin Dodaj komentarz

Post pobrano z: MooTools Image Slider With HTML5: Gradually

Gradually is a simple MooTools image slider that can present the images in an order and display an informative text for each (which is sometimes all we need).

It makes use of the HTML5 canvas element to create a beautiful transition effect.

The slider simply requires an unordered list of images (hopefully, with the same size) and uses the alt tag value as the informative text.

Besides the width/height values, the duration and interval when image is switched can be set too.

P.S. The download link at the website currently has a typo (here is the working one).
