For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.
Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!
I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |
Scalable Vector Graphics - easy, low bandwidth, high resolution, dynamic.
I have long wished that I could specify vector graphics in a browser ... and at long last I can say "most modern browsers support SVG" - as it's supported in IE9, as well as the other common browsers.
Well - Scalable Vector Graphics says what it does on the box, although in this example I'm using it to generate nice text which is covered by rectangles which gradually fade. The result is an animate and eyegrabbing image. I'll be generating SVG using PHP in the near future, and you'll start to see some rather more clever results. But we're a training outfit so let my start you with a simple case.
• An SVG image can be embedded using various tags - the recommended one is embed and there's an example of the format [here{.
• SVG is an XML based (tagged markup language) ... example [here]. (written 2011-04-23)
