CSS has long been a powerful part of the web design process, but with the emergence of CSS3 and the growth of both the spec and the number of browsers that support it, amazing options are now available to developers. San Francisco HTML5 User Group was pleased to have Robyn Overstreet, web developer extraordinaire, come to show off all the new techniques and tricks involving HTML5 and CSS3 enhancements that are providing new possibilities for improving the user experience. This event took place at SUPINFO International University in San Francisco, CA on July 29th, 2010.

San Francisco Java, PHP, and HTML5 user groups hosted an event on May 11th, 2010 on HTML5 with three amazing speakers: Brad Neuberg from Google, Giorgio Sardo from Microsoft, and Peter Lubbers from Kaazing. In this first of the three videos, Brad Neuberg from Google (formerly an HTML5 advocate and currently a Software Engineer on the Google Buzz team) explains why HTML5 matters - to consumers as well as developers! His overview of HTML5 included SVG/Canvas rendering, CSS transforms, app-cache, local databases, web workers, and much more. He also identified the scope and practical implications of the changes that are coming along with HTML5 support in modern browsers.

The Design of HTML5 by Jeremy Keith | Conférence Fronteers 2010

The idea of the intervention is to set the recent technological innovations back in light of the social bond transformations, through the analysis of the social imaginaries. Thus we must show that the majority of successes of services, interfaces or technological objects take into account and optimize social transformations that characterize new ways of construction and expression of the identity, confidence and large contemporary societal appetitions. Concrete examples from the Web, mobility and automobile HMI will support this hypothesis of the innovation through the use.

The time when online newspapers were discussed as an equivalent variation of paper is gone. Among the most fundamental issues that emerge through the practice of online information, uses and therefore design issues. Whether to innovate by offering new ways of writing and displaying stories, with rich-media, or to hybridize print and electronic medias, taking into account the legacy of typography in newspapers, interactive features renewed deeply the practice of information. Moreover, these electronic publications are characterized by a complex media and aesthetic legacy. It thus seems appropriate to consider the online press in an evolutionary perspective and show how the new operating scenarios are devised jointly by journalists, designers and developers.

Le design de l'information en ligne. Nouvelles pratiques multimédia, traitements innovants : l'époque où un titre de presse en ligne était abordé comme déclinaison d'un équivalent papier est révolue. Parmi les enjeux les plus fondamentaux qui se font jour à travers les pratiques de l'information en ligne, les usages et donc les démarches de design. Qu'il s'agisse d'innover en proposant de nouveaux traitements de l'information, avec le rich-media, ou d'en hybrider les formes avec l'héritage typographique des journaux, les dispositifs interactifs renouvellent les pratiques de l'information en profondeur. Par ailleurs, ces publications électroniques se caractérisent par un héritage médiatique et esthétique complexe. Il semble ainsi judicieux d'envisager la presse en ligne dans une perspective évolutionniste et de montrer comment opèrent les nouveaux scénarios imaginés conjointement par les journalistes, les designers et les développeurs.

La mutation des imaginaires technologiques. Comment les mutations sociétales portent les innovations technologiques ? Sociologue, chercheur et enseignant au Centre d’Etude sur l’Actuel et le Quotidien, à l’Université Descartes-Sorbonne, Stéphane Hugon dirige un groupe de recherche sur la technologie et le Quotidien dans une perspective d’étude des usages. Il est également membre de l’équipe enseignante de l’IDN de l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, où il enseigne la sociologie de l’imaginaire en post-diplôme. Stéphane Hugon est également cofondateur du cabinet Eranos, une société d’étude et de conseil dans le décryptage des imaginaires technologiques contemporains et l’accompagnement à l’innovation dans le domaine technologique et industriel.
