Projekktor Zwei

by Matthias Derer
What you´re dealing with here is a pure javascript driven HTML5 video experience. FlAsH is used only whenever there´s no native H.264 support available. In such cases a minimalistic SWF which mimics an HTML5 video element as good as necessary (read: as simple as possible) is used.

HTML5 is coming. It should have taken over the world in about two weeks (slightly optimistic estimation).

Network Graph on GitHub is now Canvas

by Matthias Derer
My advice for web developers: if something on your site CAN be done in Canvas, it SHOULD be done in canvas.

\o/ github just added yet another portion of pure win. The network graph is now done using pure HTML5 (namely canvas + javascript) instead of flash. The blog post about the change also contains some pretty neat thoughts about the ups and down of this technique.

Functional Programming

by Matthias Derer
Lambda calculus was designed to investigate problems related to calculation. Functional programming, therefore, primarily deals with calculation, and, surprisingly, uses functions to do so.

Very nice article to dive into the concepts of functional programing.
