Accepted to Present at cfObjective()

I just found out that I was accepted to present at cfObjective() in May.  I am very excited about this opportunity and I am looking forward to meeting a whole new set up people.

I will be doing a double session, deep dive, on building HTML (aka HTML5) standalone and mobile applications.  So it will be heavy on all the new features of HTML5 and CSS3, as well as some JavaScript. I’ll sneak some Flex in there as well.

This will not be the typical “this is what this does” talk, but rather building an actual application that standalone and could be synched to a server platform.

If you have any application ideas that you would like to see worked out then tweet me up @adrianpomilio

I hope to see you there!

UIandtheRest Labs Site

Okay, so I like to play around with lots of different technologies.  But how can I share my work and get feedback from people?  Hmmm… I know, I will create the obligatory “Labs” section for my site!

The labs section of my blog is just a space that I can put up and test different things that I am working on for my own interest.  With that in mind I am going to put three warnings out there:

    1. The Labs home page is BORING! – I would rather spend time trying out things and making cool little mini apps than making a pretty landing page.
    2. HTML/CSS/JavaScript based items in the lab target WebKit.  I like to play with mobile, and do things quickly.  If something is compelling enough I will make it work in all browsers. But for now its WebKit (e.g. Safari and Chrome).
    3. Free at your own risk! – You can use whatever you find in the labs, but it is at your own risk.  Don’t come to me if some CSS3 transformation and HTML5 canvas tags crash your browser.  Well, you could but I might not be home :-)

Right now I have some HTML5 demos, CSS art stuff, and random things…

So here it is: http://labs.uiandtherest.com/

JSMag CSS Corner – CSS Magic Bus Article

I just got word that my CSS Magic Bus article in JSMag will be out this week.  To read the article you will have to grab a copy of the December issue of JSMag, but here is a link to  view the actual bus and code. (VIEW with a WebKit browser, Safari or Chrome). And here is the coupon code to get that JSMag for free! yc5eh4w

The entire picture was created using only CSS and HTML.  No JavaScript and no images were used to create this image.  I hope to publish some of the article in the upcoming months.

For the articles I tend to focus on the WebKit browser.  The reasoning is so that I don’t fill the article up with code and work arounds for all the browsers. This is pretty much standard for all of my labs stuff.  I like to look at it all on my iPad.
