Until the last year, every developer was interested about how much a browser supported the XHTML 1.0 or 1.1 specifications and the CSS 1.0 or 2.0 specifications. Nowadays things have changed a little bit. We are entering a new dynamic era of internet browsing. Browsers will be even more capable of serving and displaying media contents. Doing what? Correctly implementing the HTML 5 standard and the CSS 3.0 specifications.

HTML5Test

To help developers in the understanding and/or evaluation of the behavior of a browser, Niels Leenheer has written the HTML5Test web page. This page uses a little bit of Javascript to trick your browser with common HTML 5 implementation test cases, and collects all data in a really clean report. I suggest you to try that page now with your current browser, just to get an idea. This test gives each browser a score, based on how many HTML 5 elements or features can handle correctly. The max score a browser can reach is 300, plus some additional bonus points for not-strictly-necessary features. I gathered some results for the main web browsers, in the chart you can see below. I tried to use the more recent version for each browser. Just to get an appetizer of what will be next, I also tried a beta/alpha/nightly version of each of them.]]> http://www.marzapower.com/2010/09/15/browser-standards-html5-test-best-results/feed/ 3 http://www.marzapower.com/2010/09/09/more-apple-store-prices-compared/ http://www.marzapower.com/2010/09/09/more-apple-store-prices-compared/#comments Thu, 09 Sep 2010 21:46:04 +0000 marzapower http://www.marzapower.com/?p=522 gaining by selling overseas.

It is a "quite blog".

I am wondering about buying a premium theme to radically change this whole thing, taking it to a different level. To a "definitely blog", instead of a "quite blog". I am longing for this theme, in particular: Awake.
If anyone wants to give it away to me, he's welcome!]]> http://www.marzapower.com/2010/08/22/longing-for-a-premium-wp-theme/feed/ 4 http://www.marzapower.com/2010/08/15/loggable-v-1-0-released/ http://www.marzapower.com/2010/08/15/loggable-v-1-0-released/#comments Sat, 14 Aug 2010 22:56:27 +0000 marzapower http://www.marzapower.com/?p=495 dedicated page on this blog.

If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you to do it now. What we are going to do now is analysing the second main component of the meta-library, the centralized controller Log.

How does it work

The main responsibility of the Log class is handling the logic behind the creation and returning of the Logger instance that the caller class should use. This logic, as we've already seen, is driven by the @Loggable annotation. The Log class will have a single point of access: the public static method get().]]> http://www.marzapower.com/2010/08/13/loggable-a-simple-log4j-meta-library-part-2/feed/ 2 http://www.marzapower.com/2010/08/12/my-first-virtual-coffee/ http://www.marzapower.com/2010/08/12/my-first-virtual-coffee/#comments Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:49:53 +0000 marzapower http://www.marzapower.com/?p=459 Someone today offered me my first "virtual" coffee (through a Paypal donation). This summer kindess is probably due to my latest post, about the next-coming Loggable meta-library. Thank you, Simone!

This powerful and configurable logging library is commonly used throughout whole enterprise projects, for many reasons: debugging, testing, exception logging, tracing, application profiling, et cetera.

In this article I want to explain a meta-library that I am currently writing to allow a more decentralized control of the log4j library methods and an easier log-calls implementation throught your entire application: convention over configuration. This is my motto.]]> http://www.marzapower.com/2010/08/12/loggable-a-simple-log4j-meta-library-part-1/feed/ 0
