=== Upcoming Dev Derbies === | |||
==== July: No JavaScript ==== | |||
Code with no.js! | |||
Who needs JavaScript? The expanding capabilities of HTML and CSS make it easier than ever to create rich user experiences for the Web. Mark Pilgrim captures this in [http://diveintohtml5.info/index.html Dive into HTML5] when he advises, "Scripting is here to stay, but should be avoided where more convenient declarative markup can be used." Today, declarative markup can be used to accomplish more than ever. | |||
Dynamically adapt to different screen sizes using CSS [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/Media_queries media queries]. Make a page come alive with CSS [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/CSS_transitions transitions] and [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/CSS_animations animations]. Create eye-popping graphics and animations with [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/Using_CSS_transforms#3D_specific_CSS_properties 3D transforms]. Warn users about invalid input with HTML [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Forms_in_HTML#section_8 form validation]. Provide rich media with graceful fallbacks using HTML5 [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_audio_and_video_in_Firefox video and audio]. The open Web lets you do all of this and more, all without a single line of JavaScript. | |||
So hold the JavaScript and show us what you can do this month in the July Dev Derby! | |||

==== September: Geolocation & Camera API ==== | |||
With Geolocation, you can get the user's physical location. With the Camera API, you can access their mobile camera. What can you do by combining the two? People, places, photos. Go! | |||
