Recently, I come across some websites that have the animated image without using the Flash. I wonder how they archive that kind of effect. I will list out some of the example website: 1. http://2create.bg/ 2. http://kyan.com/ I think this kind of effect is amazing. I wish I could do that as well. I just don't know what direction to head to for learning that kind of technique. Please help me out. Thank.
CSS? CSS has ability in animating? I never learn about HTML5 and JQuery. Both of them are new to me. However, I can see their potential in the future of the web development.
CSS-5 has lot of mechanisms for animation. We can develop any type of animations using CSS-5. J QUERY too can use for animations.
Just be careful with CSS animations because not all browsers are created equal. IE generally doesn't support much of anything, and there some animations in CSS3.0 that are either supported differently or hit/miss with FF and Chrome.
You can attain a lot of flash-like animation through the use of Jquery, but be careful and test regularly, JQuery may act funny on different browsers. HTML5 also has a suite of great animation techniques as well. CSS3 would probably be my third choice - I'm a big FF user and CSS3 animation is always kind of iffy. A lot of people say that HTML5 will be the "flash killer"... I think Flash is still too advanced and robust to have simple animations knock them out of the running.
Uh. The purpose of jQuery is to be cross-browser compatible. Oh? Name one. Is that why Adobe dumped Flash on mobile and is now concentrating on developing html/css/javascript tools?
Well, thank for all the suggestions and ideas. I never expect so much feedback. However, it has started to confuse me. I never try JQuery and HTML 5. Among CSS3, JQuery and HTML 5, what do you recommend for a beginner to build a animated website? (to archieve the animation done on http://kyan.com/) Please recommend only one technique, learning three languages at the same time is really too much for me.
