HTML5 Application - An Engineer's Notebook on an HTML5 platform

ENGINEERING NOTES

Subject: An Engineer's notebook on an HTML5 platform.

April 21, 2011

This application is an actual working Engineer's notebook. Its purpose is to explore new ideas and interesting subjects using interactive graphics and applied mathematics. These explorations range from a simple analysis of how to play the lottery smarter, to the mathematics of fourier analysis and fractals as well as game development using the HTML5 canvas element.

HTML5, the new release defined by the W3C organization, with built in support for  audio, video and a canvas element for dynamic real time rendering, is used as the implementation platform.

In addition to major changes to the HTML elements, significant changes have been made to javascript to allow for interactive graphics using a context object and WEBGL for 3D rendering.   

These changes and additions provide a whole new experience for the user and open the door for new interactive educational applications and dynamic game development.  At the same time it will place a whole new demand for programming talent with expertise in programming and software development. 

Browser manufacturers have been in the process of implementing the 28 new HTML5 tags and older browsers will have to be updated to view websites developed with this new technology.  This should dramatically change the current deployment of web browsers depending on who does the best job of implementing these new changes.

In all cases the complete source is listed for the HTML5, CSS, and Javascript code developed to render each section.  In this way the specific software details of  the implementation can be seen, understood and used as a guide in learning the new HTML5 specification.
 
In order to view this website you must use the latest version of a web browser which supports HTML5.  See references to download the top five leading browsers.
