Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse with HTML5 & SVG

Posted · Category: Information

As browser adoption of HTML5 continues apace, developers are finding more and more options for creating elegant, highly responsive UIs. In the case of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), what’s old is new again, and quite slick.

The SVG spec has been around for a while now. Under development since 1999, the spec, or more accurately a family of specs, describes an XML-based file format for vector graphics. An SVG block defines the individual components of a vector image, such as paths, shapes, fills, strokes and other features. This provides a lightweight option for certain types of graphics that might otherwise have been created in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape and then exported to a raster format. It also promises a raft of potential functionality in manipulating an image on the fly—hence the “scalable” part of SVG.

With widespread adoption of HTML5 standards, browsers are taking SVG in new directions, such as emphasizing the <svg> tag for inline SVG, using CSS for styling, and opening up the DOM so that SVG images can be created or manipulated on the client side with JavaScript.

To demonstrate, this series of walkthroughs will aim to benefit humankind in two ways. One, it will cover SVG examples that are compatible across browsers, while pointing out some of the differences in SVG adoption. Two, it will more or less accurately predict one’s chances of surviving a zombie apocalypse. Read the rest of this entry »

What are HTML5 Datalists and When to Use Them

Posted · Category: Information

Autocompletion is a pattern that all Web users are familiar with. When you do a search, your search engine suggests terms. When you type a new e-mail message, your mail client suggest recipients. This functionality, however, has not been available to Web developers without a nontrivial amount of JavaScript. One of the new HTML5 elements, the , brings this autocomplete functionality to the Web natively.

In this article, I’ll describe what datalists are, when it’s appropriate to use them, their limitations and what to do for browsers that don’t support them. Let’s get started.

Creating Datalists

To show how a datalist works, let’s start with a traditional text input:

<label for="favorite_team">Favorite Team:</label>
<input type="text" name="team" id="favorite_team">

This field asks a user to provide his or her favorite sports team. By default, the user will be given no additional help to complete the field. But by using a datalist, you can provide a list of options the user can select from to complete the field. To do this, define a datalist with an option element for each suggestion:

<datalist>
  <option>Detroit Lions</option>
  <option>Detroit Pistons</option>
  <option>Detroit Red Wings</option>
  <option>Detroit Tigers</option>
  <!-- etc... -->
</datalist>

To tie a datalist to an input element, give the input element a list attribute and the datalist an id attribute that match. Here’s an example:

<label for="favorite_team">Favorite Team:</label>
<input type="text" name="team" id="favorite_team" list="team_list">
<datalist id="team_list">
  <option>Detroit Lions</option>
  <option>Detroit Pistons</option>
  <option>Detroit Red Wings</option>
  <option>Detroit Tigers</option>
  <!-- etc... -->
</datalist>

Notice that the list attribute of the input and the id attribute of the datalist contain the same value, “team_list”. This provides the link between the two.

That’s it. No JavaScript is required to make a datalist work. Figure 1 shows what the user will see in supporting browsers after typing a D. Read the rest of this entry »

Is the Web Ready for Responsive Web Design?

Posted · Category: Information

The Mobile Playing Field

Today, a large portion of site traffic comes from mobile devices—namely smart phones and tablets—in addition to traditional PCs. Across the globe, mobile devices now account for 12 percent of Internet traffic, and it’s scaling up faster than desktop Internet traffic. The fraction of mobile Web traffic is sufficiently higher in nations with high smartphone penetration (for example, 20 percent of US-based Web traffic is via mobile browsing). What’s more, this figure is expected to grow significantly over the next 10 years, as smartphones evolve and mature in terms of hardware and software and adoption picks up in South America, Asia and Africa.

Site owners have begun to take advantage of this trend over the past several years and have primarily relied on native mobile apps for top sites such as Facebook, Hulu and the New York Times. Moreover, up-and-coming Web services such as Pulse, Flipboard and others have even taken to a mobile-first approach, by building apps for iOS and other ecosystems before building a Web site experience. Native apps allow developers to create unique phone-first, touch-optimized experiences for users to interact with their content to take advantage of features like camera integration, geo-location and offline data storage.

Targeting users on mobile natively makes good sense, especially within the US, where more than 50 percent of mobile users own a smartphone. While mobile apps offer site owners a way to connect with users on new form factors, new ways to monetize across platforms and new mobile-scenario-centric experiences to empower and delight their users, they offer an incomplete opportunity for developers compared to the ubiquity and reach of the Web. There are a couple of problems that affect a native mobile-only approach.

Problem 1: Cost of Supporting Multiple Platforms

Creating similar content and experiences across multiple platforms is costly and requires site owners to choose platforms for which to optimize. Additionally, this translates to a limited Web site experience for users who seek out your content from other platforms, especially when you need to prioritize your development investments.

Designing Experiences for Responsive Web Sites

Posted · Category: Information

Before You Get Started

Responsive Web design is intended to ensure that a site’s layout and content scale fluidly to the available screen real estate. This is a great approach for focusing your investments on improving site content and user functionality while ensuring that users have a good experience regardless of what device and screen size they use to visit your site. If you didn’t read the first article in this series, “Why the Web Is Ready for Responsive Web Design,” be sure to read it first.

It’s worth taking a step back, however, to think through your site’s experience and understand whether the device with which a user accesses your site changes the user’s expectations of the site’s functionality. Is the user checking your site for quick updates with her cellphone while she’s on the go? Is he sitting down, 10 feet away from a large TV screen, looking to immerse himself in a relatively passive consumption experience of rich content, videos and games? Are other users sitting down at their PCs, looking to get the most from your site content? Most of all, how do these expectations affect the site layout and functionality that you provide at those corresponding screen sizes?

What Kind of Site Is This?

Planning the content hierarchy for your site across different form factors is definitely the first step to having a great responsive-site experience. Consider the following examples, which evaluate and compare the top experiences that customers want to have when they access your site from a 4-inch phone while they walk or take public transportation, when they’re sitting at their computer desk, and when they’re lounging on their couches in their living rooms.

How to Mobilize Atari Arcade in HTML5

Posted · Category: Information

This article recently appeared on the Atari Arcade Developer Center, a collaboration by the teams at gskinner.com , Atari and Internet Explorer.

Choosing a Target

By limiting to desktops and tablets in the first release, we narrowed our scope considerably, and were able to provide a semi-responsive layout with a single game size. Our reach included most standard resolution monitors, plus tablet form-factors like Surface and iPad.

But we quickly learned that we were missing something by not targeting the huge number of users on mobile devices. That is, a vast market that now accounts for about 12% of all global internet traffic, spanning all kinds of dimensions, resolutions, and processors. Our next task was identifying an approach to bring the arcade to the mobile web. We wanted to support a variety of resolutions, including higher DPIs in new devices like Windows Phone 8 and iPhone 5.

This article discusses the goals to mobilize the arcade, as well as some approaches, the issues we encountered, and some tips and tricks where we found value.
