HTML5 Audio APIs - How Low can we Go? | The Worm Hole

Fri, 03/02/2012 - 08:18 -- rprice

Mozilla’s approach was to expose a very comprehensive low level API, which potentially allows JavaScript developers to create all the functionality of Webkit’s Web Audio API and then some. As a result we get libraries like JSMad cropping up. What does JSMad do? Significantly, it allows you to play MP3s in Firefox*. Is JavaScript fast enough? Apparently so. This was a ‘this changes everything’ moment for me and since then a similar approach has been taken by pdf.js and more recently Broadway.js which decodes H.264 on the fly.

Broadway.js is an open-source library that decodes H.264 in JavaScript by taking advantage of the newer faster JavaScript engines that are built into the latest browsers. This means that in theory a developer can add H.264 playback capability to any modern browser. See also JSMad for MP3 playback and ALAC.js for lossless playback.

A List Apart: Articles: Using SVG for Flexible, Scalable, and Fun Backgrounds, Part II

Sat, 12/31/2011 - 14:03 -- rprice

A background image that fits the entire web page can be more challenging. I’ve learned that a simple graphic with a strong diagonal feel, sized to fit 100% of the page’s height and width, can be a fun and effective background graphic that seems to be a custom fit to the web page size
