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. In the last few weeks, I've been looking at this book more closely, and since it's been a quite useful learning experience, I wanted to mention it here as well.

blog  Using Impromptu to visualize RSS feeds.

Dec 2011

Some time ago, I was experimenting with the processing and display of RSS feeds within Impromptu, and as a result, I built a small app that retrieves the news feed from The Guardian online and displays it on a canvas. I've had a bit of free time these days, so last night I thought it was time to polish it a little and make it available on this blog (who knows, maybe someone else will use it as a starting point for another project).
