Since weekend is coming, I think that some CMS or shopping cart wouldn’t be a good idea. At least when I think about myself, I usually enjoy some light work during weekends, nothing special, as it happens with most of my friends. The web designers that I can call “friends” usually go in the woods during weekends, but when they don’t, they usually avoid work, that’s certain. If things are so boring for them and they end up facing some [...]

Some say bubbles are useless when it comes to graphic effects for your site, but I disagree with that. Sometimes, they can be really funny, just like a bubble bath – somehow useless, but surely a lot of fun! Today, I’ll give you a hint about a free bubbles generator. Unfortunately, it only works with websites, because if it would have been able to turn a regular bathtub into one with bubbles, I wouldn’t be in front of my computer [...]

Sometimes, I really want to kill the people behind sites with multimedia content. Fortunately, it’s about those sites with loud background music starting automatically, and no obvious Mute button. When it comes to slideshows and animated banners, I usually have nothing against them. Hey, I even enjoy such things, as long as I get to see some useful content around, too!

Blockster can help those working on a website to easily create featured content sliders that offer a wide range of [...]

While this may not be something new at all, it surely ads a new alternative to those programmers looking for a HTML5/Javascript-based library offering all the features of a player… only that you don’t really need Flash, that’s the whole catch! The name of this library? Moovie!

To take a closer look at the demo and download this library still in its early development stage, please go here and have a look around. For now, basic functionality is almost complete, Moovie [...]

Could you live without sites like YouTube or Vimeo? I think I could, but that would surely be a pretty boring life! Sure, that won’t happen anytime soon, especially since it becomes easier with each day to add media elements to your website. Today, we’ll take a look at jMediaelement, an audio-video development kit built using HTML5 and jQuery.

jMediaelement, shortly known as “jme,” is covered by the terms of the terms of the GPL and MIT licenses, offering support for [...]

Twitter, Twitter, Twitter! No matter where I turn, it seems I can’t escape it. Oh, well, you know how they say… “If you can’t beat them, join them!” Today, I will do exactly that, so I’ll tell you a few words about another Twitter-related thing. Its name is jTweetsAnywhere and comes for free, as it usually happens with most of the stuff we talk about here.

This “thing” called jTweetsAnywhere is a jQuery Twitter widget able to make integration of Twitter [...]

Those who claim that intelligence is sexy may be right, after all. Why? I never thought about programming/code to be sexy, and I wasn’t expecting to see a jQuery library with such a smart branding as Sexy.js. Now, they only need a theme song… and I can’t suggest anything else but ZZ Top’s Legs, since I think it goes perfectly with the home page of this product!

Sexy.js is a chainable library that allows you to easily manage script dependencies [...]

HTML5 is the way of the future… am I right? Right or not, I know it’s not the first time I say this, and I bet it’s not the last one, either. There are plenty of reasons to say this, and seeing video players like FlareVideo is one of them… so let’s take a quick look at this piece of code, shall we?

Completely free and even open source, FlareVideo can be easily customized using CSS, JS and HTML, but it [...]

The Aero-look has been around for ages, Vista only made it really popular (don’t tell me that more than 10% of those using Vista/7 now and enjoying the transparent interface and the effects coming with it ever used Stardock products or even heard of it – I’m not buying that!). Don’t get me wrong – I don’t have anything against it, but I think there was and still is too much hype around Windows’ looks… and now I will tell [...]

HTML5 is the way of the future. Flash must die, at least when it comes to sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, and so on. If this will happen or not, that’s what remains to be seen, but until then, it’s my pleasure to tell you a few words about Projekktor, “a pure javascript driven HTML5 video experience” offered by Sascha Kluger under the terms of the GPL license.

Oh, my! It seems I already told you all there is to know [...]
