I'd like to recycle this good old experiment to wish all WR readers nice holidays, if any :D See you soon next year with new web development adventures ;)

Hardware Accelerated Browsers are a great step forward for Web potentials, but not all of them are able to accelerate properly the canvas element. When it comes to performances, we should be aware about those practices able to slow down consistently not that powerful devices such Netbooks and smart pad or phones. The Tesla Experiment This demo has a mere entertainment purpose and it is specially suitable for iPad since it becomes more funny via multi touch screens. It is possible to customize almost everything via the Tesla class , and for the example page we can simply use the query string .

I have been totally impressed by their choreography: it looked apparently rudimentary stuff but once they started playing I could not avoid to think all the time how beautiful special effects are and how simple, sometimes, they could be for a stunning result. Liquid FX I cannot forget my ActionScript Developer past and of my favorite coded special effects has always been the liquid one. What is a liquid effect? Here a preview: Test Liquid FX Directly In Your Browser Well, if the preview image is not explicative enough, I am sure this demo page is :) Update , this Sony VAIO Flash Style Splash Page could be interesting as well, isn't it? And all in 14Kb images, JS, and layout included ;) How Does Liquid Work There is a Liquid function, and its configuration object: Liquid({ // image src, whatever format src:"myimage.png", // element to use as Liquid FX container target: document...
