HTML5 in practice

July 22, 2010 in News Roundup, Uncategorized

html5_casestudyGary Robson from North East digital company Industrial Strength, outlined some of the possibilities and difficulties of using HTML5 from a web developer’s point of view.

“We haven’t really used it in any of our projects yet because the browser support simply isn’t wide enough yet (usually down to Internet Explorer)”, he said.

html5_feature

The debate is starting to get confusing. It’s like schoolyard bickering all over again. Apple doesn’t like Adobe, Google doesn’t like Apple, Adobe and Google are buddying up, YouTube is stuck in the middle. And Steve Jobs rants at everyone.

Web usability guru not impressed by the iPad

June 7, 2010 in News Roundup

ipad_usabilityiPad apps are inconsistent and have low feature discoverability, with frequent user errors due to accidental gestures, Danish usability guru Jacob Nielsen slams.

According to the Guardian’s technology blogger Jack Schofield, Nielsen, who has just published a 93-page report on iPad usability, was expecting more of the device.

Nielsen said: “There were really a lot of usability problems in this first-generation of iPad applications. It’s often quite difficult for people to discover what they have to do because the options are not very visible.”
