Taking a look at CreativeJS: "The very best of creative JavaScript and HTML5" -

I came across the CreativeJS website while searching for HTML5/JavaScript resources suitable for creative multimedia projects.  The team at CreativeJS includes Seb Lee-Delisle, Val Head, Paul Neave, Rob Hawkes, Hakim El Hattab, and Lisa Larson-Kelley.


What a talented team!

JavaScript HTML5 iPad Multi-touch Game Controller "How-To" by Seb Lee-Delisle

I'm glad I decided to glance at Twitter today and find a tweet with a link to Seb LeeDesilse's Creatively Digital website.  If you are interested in learning more about HTML5, Canvas, the iPad, multi-touch, etc, the site might be worth taking your time to explore. Here is the link:

    State of Information Visualization, 2011 InfoVis in HTML5 "how-to", and more (Thanks to Robert Kosara)

    Take a look at Robert' Kosara's recent post on his eagereyes blog:
     
    The State of Information Visualization, 2011

    In this post, Robert reviews of some of the important trends in information visualization in 2010, discusses the potential of HTML5 for creating information visualization experiences on the web, and makes a few predictions about the near future.  Robert is pretty sure that the world is ready for "truly interactive, browser-based visualization".  He notes that the Protovis Primers he shares on his website are quite popular.

    Most of the following resources and links were taken from the eagereyes website:

    "Protovis is a very powerful visualization toolkit. Part of what makes it special is that it is written in JavaScript and runs in the browser without the need for any plugins. Its clever use of JavaScript's language features makes it very elegant, but it can also be confusing to people who are not familiar with functional programming concepts and the finer points of JavaScript." -Robert Kosara
