The HTML5 Experiments of Hakim El Hattab

I work with him (<a href="http://f-i.com" rel="nofollow">http://f-i.com</a>) and he is an incredibly talented interactive developer. His work, and these demos show an extreme attention to detail and an incredibly nice, human touch to interaction and motion.<p>Alright, I'll stop. Just make sure to check out the demos.<p>Plus, here's a blog entry he wrote on HTML5 and his experiences - <a href="http://www.kontain.com/fi/entries/94636/thoughts-on-html5-canvas/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kontain.com/fi/entries/94636/thoughts-on-html5-ca...</a>

It never really sank in with me until this: flash is dead.<p>Those were gorgeous. The mark of good software is that it inspires you think of uses for its underlying technology. As of now, I actually take "HTML5" seriously, thanks to this.<p>We should see more robust libraries, and even "authoring tools" in the near future.

This is beautiful.<p>It reminded me a lot of an online puzzle game called Auditorium. If you liked these demos, and have even the slightest interest in puzzle games, I really recommend checking it out (free, pretty long demo): <a href="http://www.playauditorium.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.playauditorium.com/</a>.

Does he need a resume when applying for a job? What if you got this from him in your pile of resumes:<p><pre><code> Degree: None Experience: None Skills: Javascript ninja &#38; rockstar, watch this [url] </code></pre> Would you hire him?

Seems to be more like the Canvas experiments of Hakim.

This reminds me of java applet and flash demos from the nineties. Except this time it's done without any browser plugin, which is awesome.

Wow, the monster from Fullmetal, that was freaky!<p>(<i>hold down the mouse button and drag or click across the page</i>)

I really want to learn do to stuff like this. Could you guys give me some pointers on where to start?

seriously amazing!<p>As for flash, if it can do or does anything as gorgeous I haven't yet seen it.<p>Thanks to Hakim and bigstorm.
