The digest of interesting news and materials from the world of ayti for the last week №16 (July 21 - 27, 2012)
We bring to your attention another collection with links to news, interesting materials and useful resources.
The fate of the development of Web standards is now in the hands of two teams of specialists - the WHATWG and the W3C , between which disagreements have recently begun. As a result, the question of who will put the final point in the standards is now quite difficult to answer.
And here you can participate in the discussion, who will eventually become the king of the mountain of specification.
Twitter and Google will keep us updated on all events.
And looking at the chronology of the development of the logos of this major event, since 1924 , we can recall how the design developed in the past and this century.
One of the most attractive platforms for developers, today, is a tough nut to designers. The concepts of pixel density, various dimensions, and compliance with Google’s official design guidelines can at first simply be confusing. However, upon closer inspection of the documentation, everything falls into place.
This week, Apple released OS X Mountain Lion and made a quarterly report . A detailed review of the axis indicates a large amount of work done and numerous positive changes. While the report speaks of the end of euphoria, from the constant growth of the company.
“Animators of all countries unite!” - apparently, the creators of the new service and a whole forest of animation and video clips guided this slogan.
The appearance of retina displays, and the ever-increasing number of various screen resolutions, are pushing developers to more actively use vector materials. Custom web fonts and fonts with embedded icons are becoming more common. Therefore, specialized services designed to handle fonts are becoming increasingly popular.
Web Developer Tools in Firefox give more and more opportunities to work with a project in a browser . The development of Firebug does not stop either - the latest version 1.10 has included quite serious functional updates .
