JavaScript in Motion
Ive been spending a bit of time researching cool Javascript ways of making the web more accesible. Desktop apps have lost their appeal for me, so trying to do things that are easy on a desktop app, on the web is what ive been looking at.
First, I found this cool image uploader that builds on the functionality of Uberuploader (I profiled this earlier). Check out Cake-timer, its great for image galleries etc.
JavaScript motion efferct ala Flash are really cool. Check out this tutorial to make your webpage come alive. I perticularly like the background colour changer, that could be used to signify an action to a user, such as “you are entering a secure site” etc.
The Webdevelopers one page Handbook has also been updated, its worth looking at if you have a few hours to kill.
