Yesterday I finished my latest endeavor of the explorations of the amazing world of HTML5 Web Components. I must say that the deeper I get into the topic, the more I understand their importance, and I am pretty sure that very soon (even much sooner that I dared to speculate a couple of months ago) … Continue reading “Extended File Upload Input, Wrapped as a HTML5 Web Component”
Sometime ago I used Last.Fm’s REST API to show some of my favorite albums on my website. The current implementation is using JavaScript, CSS3, HTML5, PHP and client-side rendering and I’m pretty happy with it.
