People of HTML5 – Divya Manian

People of HTML5 – Divya Manianview story

https://hacks.mozilla.org HTML5 needs spokespeople to work. There are a lot of people out there who took on this role, and here at Mozilla we thought it is a good idea to introduce some of them to you with a series of interviews and short videos. The format is simple – we send the experts 10 questions to answer and then do a quick video interview to let them introduce themselves and ask for more detail on some of their answers. Today we are featuring Divya Manian, Web Opener at Opera Software. Most likely you came across Divya because of her involvement in HTML5 readiness and HTML5 Boilerplate. She is available on Twitter as @divya and is very much involved in the CSS standards working group.

Firefox 4 Performance

Firefox 4 Performanceview story

https://hacks.mozilla.org Dave Mandelin from the JS team and Joe Drew from the Graphics team summarize the key performance improvements in Firefox 4. The web wants fast browsers. Cutting-edge HTML5 web pages play games, mash up and share maps, sound, and videos, show spreadsheets and presentations, and edit photos. Only a high-performance browser can do that. What the web wants, it’s our job to make, and we’ve been working hard to make Firefox 4 fast. Firefox 4 comes with performance improvements in almost every area. The most dramatic improvements are in JavaScript and graphics, which are critical for modern HTML5 apps and games.

Farewell IE6

Farewell IE6view story

http://sixrevisions.com The year was 2003. I was working on my first website out of college. It was a personal portfolio geared towards landing my first job in the industry. I was trying to build a site unlike anything prospective employers would have seen before. The grungy homepage wasn’t built with tables as my college education had taught me. I needed to create layers to allow my random Polaroid photo to change beneath its frame, so I used a bizarre element called a <div>. It was alien to me, but it worked. There was only one catch: Of the modern browsers of the day, it only worked on Internet Explorer 6. It was frustrating to think that my site would only work for those who kept their browsers up to date.
