I know it doesn’t sound right, but I think that Google Maps is now more important than Google’s notorious Internet search service. Obviously, I have my reasons, and the most important of them is the fact that you can’t spam Google Maps…

… and the large crowd of plugins like jMapping seem to make Google Maps even better! OK, so what’s the catch with this one? According to the official mumbo-jumbo, jMapping “is designed for quick development of a page that [...]

While I know a lot of people who still happen to use Notepad as their primary code editor, sometimes I think that Web-based HTML editors can help you get the job done much better, as long as they have what it takes (I am thinking about cross-browser and plugins support before anything else). While it may not be considered a fully featured HTML editor, today’s CLEditor is a pretty interesting piece of code…

… since I am sure that the screenshot [...]

If you are not happy with HTML5 Reset, here’s an alternative: HTML5 Boilerplate. Before moving on, let me tell you that this one’s website is clearly much better than the one HTML5 Reset has, so we’re up to a good start here. Good, but what else?

According to the official mumbo-jumbo, “HTML5 Boilerplate is the professional badass’s base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site.” Without being a framework or describing any philosophy of development, Boilerplate is here to [...]

No screenshot today, sorry. I know, ending the week talking about a script without a screenshot seems to be a bit sad, but don’t worry – usually, webpage quiz applications don’t need screenshots, since they are highly customizable, and their looks depend on what you can make of them… or simply on your CSS skills, in most cases!

Today’s little piece of code, jQuizMe, was built with jQuery and uses CSS and, obviously, Javascript. With it, you can easily [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
