Turntable.js is a responsive JQuery slider that will let you rotate through a list of images as your mouse (or finger) sweeps across a container. Think of it like a flipbook made with Javascript, instead of paper. All you need is a set of images, and jQuery. It’s a fresh alternative to the typical ‘click-to-slide’ JQuery gallery.

Codrops has shared The Making of “The Aviatorâ€: Animating a Basic 3D Scene with Three.js, they created a simple 3D flying plane using Three.js, a 3D library that makes WebGL simpler. WebGL is a pretty unknown world for many developers because of the complexity and syntax of GLSL. But With Three.js, 3D in the browser becomes very easy to implement.
In this tutorial we’ll create a simple 3D scene with a few interactions in two major parts. In the first part we will explain the basics of Three.js and how to set up a very simple scene. The second part will go into some details on how to refine the shapes, how to add some atmosphere and better movements to the different elements of the scene. In this tutorial we will focus on some basic concepts that will get you started in the world of WebGL with Three.js!

The fastest way to build a website is to use a readymade website template, plus do some customization (depending on your requirements). And when a few years ago that was the choice of small companies and bloggers, today even the largest corporations opt for these tactics. Indeed, why reinvent the wheel if you can use the achievements of hundreds of professionals for a nominal price?
Today we are pleased to introduce you to one of the most promising web-design products of 2016 – an ultimate HTML5 template dubbed Intense.
What is “Intense�
Demo | More Info
In general, Intense is a multipurpose HTML5 website template with hundreds of readymade pages, but it’s too versatile to be given a precise definition. It was conceived as a one-stop solution, and that’s why it is jam-packed with pages, design components and plugins. And since it’s a pure HTML template, and not a CMS theme, you can easily pick only the elements you need for your current project without digging into the code too deeply. That’s why Intense can grow exponentially, but remain convenient and easy-to-use at the same time. Read the rest of this entry »

If working with a top-of-the-line UX/IU tool is your objective, you’ll find what you need right here. Before you make a choice however, ask yourself the following questions:

- How large is your team or project? Size can determine the right tool for the job.

MaintainableCSS is an approach to architecting and writing CSS that helps you and your team write modular, scalable and maintainable code. In practical terms, this means that as a developer I want to create new features, or edit existing features without having to concern myself with overriding styles I don’t want applied, or worse that the code I write causes regression elsewhere.
MaintainableCSS is not something you can download. It’s a set of principles, guides and conventions that help you write CSS for large or small scale websites. Having maintainable code means that I can edit a module and it’s styles without worrying that I have negatively caused problems in other modules by accident. I want to be able to to write code that provides peace of mind knowing that my code is encapsulated. Write CSS without worrying that overzealous, pre-existing styles will cause problems. MaintainableCSS is an approach to writing modular, scalable and of course, maintainable CSS.

At StatHat, they make a lot of charts. They creates dynamic, autoupdating charts using JavaScript, but we also send charts via email and to external services like Campfire and Slack. Plus, they let users embed charts on their own web pages. For these situations, JavaScript charts either won’t work, are overkill, or could get messy.
So they made chartd. It allows you to create a chart with just an img tag. These charts:
- are responsive (resize this page to see the charts respond)
- are retina-friendly
- can contain up to 5 datasets
- can be line or step charts
- have customizable colors and strokes
No JavaScript is required. You can generate SVG or PNG charts. We prefer SVG, but some services (like gmail) won’t render SVGs in emails.
