But the holidays very soon!

Decorated trees appear on the streets, shops draw discount price tags, children convulsively recite another poem for Santa Claus (it is clear that they’ve been deceived again, but suddenly this time they will be lucky and the real one will come!). Everything around and shouts: Soon! Holiday is coming soon! Forget all the failures and sadness in the old year!



If approaching the holiday came as a surprise (after all, IT people are people who are passionate about their work), get distracted, set the layout aside for later - nowhere does it go away from you, just listen to Bruce Lawson's New Year's Web Developer:







Opera 11.60's out

with loads of new stuff in it

I'll tell you what it is about

in a festive minute.

Site compatibility

got more robust and faster.

In your yuletide sock is Ragnarok,

Our HTML5 parser.

')

HTML video

shines as bright as reindeer noses.

It can be buffered and be seekable.

muted and preloaded.

We all love our gradients!

So thank the Angel Gabrial!

not just boring linear

but super-sexy radial.



All cool kids love ecmascript

So shout out your hurrays!

We've got the mode that's oh-so-stict

And lovely typed arrays.

A present that is heaven sent

is the DOM Event Constructor.

Without it, synthetic events

are a total ... monkeyfighter *.



Deck the halls with protocols

Light the yuletide candles.

You can define the content types

that your web apps should handle.

All platforms, even Win 2K

though that O / S is shoddy.

For Opera's wish for the new year

is the Web for everybody.
