In the last article, you learned all about transformations, shadows and gradients. Today, I’m going to show you how to manipulate pixels in canvas; from simply accessing color values, to editing images within the canvas just like a photo editor.

n this tutorial, we are going to learn how to create a swanky HTML5 AJAX powered contact form. The form will use some of the new HTML5 input elements and attributes, and will be validated using the browser’s built-in form validation.

In this image gallery, I wanted to create the effect of intersecting lines to highlight the selected image in a grid like a crosshair. I used differing opacities of images horizontally across from the current image and vertically above or below the image to achieve this effect.

SEO — search engine optimization — is one of the most important marketing activities available to companies and publishers, but it’s too often considered some murky “dark art” or a sinful practice that should be avoided.
