blog  HTML5 Canvas Cookbook.

Feb 2012

HTML5 Canvas Cookbook is a new publication from Packt Publishing that discusses in detail the new drawing functionalities the HTML5 canvas element makes available.

blog  New Book on Knowledge Technologies.

Mar 2008

A new interesting book on Knowledge Technologies from Nick Milton is available online. It is meant to be read also by novices so it's deliberately not too technical or complex. I had a quick look at it this morning, and I think that it is interesting even for who's already familiar with all this stuff, cause it gives a nice overall perspective on the field. Never too fanatic about the 'semantic' promises, sober and realistic when describing the features and advantages of these technologies.
