Demo

William Berglund - CSS, HTML, Javascript, Ajax

This is a short and simple design demo. It tries to show some light, fast and effective ways to add flavor and spice to design elements. Being a demo it is overkill on the visual side, too much movement. This is a tech demo for design elements but underneath lies fast, minimalistic code that leaves the imagination to freely ponder about the choices possible with these and similar tools.

In this demo there is no imported code or libraries, all is done from scratch using the languages and methods specified above. It truly is a bare minimum demo.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?'
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy- chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat- pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on

Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next.

Accelerated

CSS3 animations are hardware accelerated; they can make use of the graphics processor of most computers thus achieving greater speeds.

Lightweight

Animations in CSS3 are incredibly lightweight, they're a tiny feather compared to flash; in terms of both space and resources.

Reach

In a rapidly developing world standards dominate, there's no use in not following them. Animating in CSS3 and Javascript is the absolute standard in 2014.

Instant

The SVG format with its small size allows for almost instant page loads; giving you and your clients more free time and less headaches.

Correctness is clearly the prime quality. If a system does not do what it is supposed to do, then everything else about it matters little. - Bertrand Meyer

The effective exploitation of his powers of abstraction must be regarded as one of the most vital activities of a competent programmer. - Edsger W. Dijkstra
