Creating a Visual Library of Images with the HTML5 Canvas
Parts.Common.Body.Summary.cshtml – The template for summary of a content item's body.Code Project has a great article on creating a visual library of images (similar to DeepZoom) in HTML5.
Check out the demo, which uses images of cards from Magic the Gathering cards collection. (No, I don’t play it.
)While I do love Silverlight, this approach works on any platform that supports HTML5. So you can get that rich DeepZoom style experience that will work on iOS, Androids, as well as PCs.
One thing you’ll notice is that that IE9 performs the task pretty well over other browsers.
I’m pointing it out not because I work for Microsoft, but because hardware acceleration matters in rich HTML5 applications.
Don’t believe me? Check out this comparison of frame rates on the various browser/platform combinations.
Browser FPS Internet Explorer 9M 30 Firefox 5 30 Chrome 12 17 iPad (with a zoom level of 0.8) 7 Windows Phone Mango (with a zoom level of 0.8) 20 (!!) Read the full article to learn more about how the page was put together and to get the source code.
State of HTML 5 Infographic
Parts.Common.Body.Summary.cshtml – The template for summary of a content item's body.I love infographics and I’m starting to like HTML5.
So, to start off the week in the right frame of mind: here’s a mixture of the two.
By the way, the HTML5 spec will be “finished” in 2022. However, the termed “finished” can mean just about anything. In this case, it refers to when the W3C says it’s complete. For practical, everyday use, HTML5 is ready now.
