Keith Peter’s Minimal Components are an excellent tool for any Flash developer when it comes to adding realtime configuration to a SWF. I find myself using them a lot in my demos and prototypes but for sketches with many editable parameters it’s still a hassle writing boilerplate code to set up and arrange the components, as well as adding the appropriate event handlers.

Tonfall is an Actionscript framework to get you started in audio dsp programming within the Flashplayer(10+). Tonfall introduces only a vague design of an audio engine and is rather focussed on readability and simplicity than performance optimizations.

Backlit photography might seem simple to do but in fact it isn’t — the light behind the subject you are aiming at to include within your picture can be very tricky. This type of photography should not be mistaken for silhouette photography.

태블릿들은 여러 면에서 실제 책과 흡사합니다. 화면에는 명확한 경계가 있고, 각 줄에는 적당한 수의 단어들이 있어서 갑자기 화면 밖으로 빠져나가버리는 일은 없습니다. 하지만 실제 책과 다른 부분도 많습니다. 문장은 어느 방향으로든 이어질 수 있고, 글씨 크기를 바꿀 수도 있습니다. 그러면 이런 공통점과 차이점들을 어떻게 조화시킬 수 있을까요?

지난 1월 4일부터 약 2주간1) 프론트 앤드 개발을 위한 필독서 설문조사를 실시했습니다. 그간 개인 블로그 혹은 이메일, 또는 클리어보스 사이트를 통해서 HTML, CSS를 공부하기에 좋은 책이나, 웹표준과 웹접근성을 공부할 때 꼭 봐야 하는 책 등을 문의받는 일이 잦았습니다. 비단 저 뿐 아니라 CDK나 하코사 게시판을 봐도 얼마나 많은 사람들이 관련…

使用AMFPHP能够极大简化服务端的逻辑。现在我打算简化它的用法。没有应答器，没有侦听器或客户端。

Almost every new client these days wants a mobile version of their website. It’s practically essential after all: one design for the BlackBerry, another for the iPhone, the iPad, netbook, Kindle — and all screen resolutions must be compatible, too. In the next five years, we’ll likely need to design for a number of additional inventions. When will the madness stop? It won’t, of course.

There is a thin line between design and development, and as we move into a new decade, this line is becoming extremely blurry. Is it enough to draw beautiful mock ups in Photoshop? Maybe 5 years ago. These days, the average internet user requires more. All beauty, with no substance, gets boring after a while. If your only goal is to impress a community of fellow designers with your flashy designs, you’ll find yourself quickly beneath the tide. 2011 is not about beauty, it’s about function. The trends for this new year and emerging decade are responsive design, constant connection and virtual reality.

Although the benefit of having large number of brushes loaded in Photoshop may cause some slowness to load brushes especially when it is in high quality, it is good to load on the brushes you need and replace the unused brushes.

We would all agree that content is the most important aspect of any website. And in most cases content is made up of type. So, as a web designer, it makes sense to have a strong understanding of typography. With that in mind, we rounded up some free ebooks that should help you strengthen your typography skills.
