What is HTML5 Video?

Best Practices for Fair Use in Online Video (Video) – Kaltura Blog

“Last month the University of New Hampshire (UNH) held its very own Video in Education conference. Kaltura was a proud participant and sponsor. Over 100 faculty members, students and IT professionals from UNH and near-by schools attended. Many of them showcased innovative ways in which video is being used in the classroom.”

“For us at Kaltura, it was extremely exciting to see so many of the use cases our solutions are targeted for “come to life” with students and teachers creating video to make learning more engaging. In that respect, The University of New Hampshire has been an ongoing source of inspiration for us, constantly pushing the boundaries of integrating video with academic studies. The results are highly creative and professional videos created by faculty and students.”

Apple, Microsoft, Google, and others team up to support standards site Web Platform Docs

“Web Platform Docs, which launched today in a self-described “alpha” form, wants to become “the place to come for answers to your trickiest (and simplest) development and design questions about the Open Web Platform.” The project is backed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards body, as well as the likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and others.”

Javascript Internationalization API — Building World-ready Applications in JavaScript Becoming a Reality

“Perusing sites like Google Finance, Yahoo Finance, FXCM, ForXCharts, and other ForEx sites, a pattern emerges: all of these sites implement their user experience using a combination of plug-ins, extensions, or constructs which require server round-tripping for interactivity. Because these sites need to format currencies, present dates according to a specific locale, and sort strings like stock tickers with locale specific string comparison, the Web platform comes up short for them today.”

“Aside from the ActiveX control which provides support for the API [until the API is approved], the user experience of our ForEx test drive demo is written 100% in JavaScript. It uses jqPlot to chart the currency exchanges format dates and currencies in JavaScript. At the top of the demo, you can pick a Foreign Exchange pair, such as comparing EUR/JPY and view it with a locale specific date format by selecting the ja-JP-u-nu-latin language tag. When you hit the “Plot with Intl” you’ll see the JavaScript API in action.”

Ejecta – PhobosLab

“Ejecta is like a Browser without the Browser. It’s specially crafted for Games and Animations. It has no DIVs, no Tables, no Forms – only Canvas and Audio elements. This focus makes it fast.

JavaScript code is executed directly by a JavaScript VM (JavaScriptCore), the HTML5 Canvas API is implemented in native code with OpenGL, Audio is implemented with OpenAL. Several other APIs (touch, accelerometer, localStorage) behave like those in a real browser.

Many HTML5 Games run out of the box, or with minimal modifications – with better performance, better sound support, Game Center integration and more.”
