Inhaltsangabe

Developing SVG-based Web Applications is the get-up-to-speed-quickly guide to SVG - Scalable Vector Graphics - for the experienced Web developer. In this book, Ellen Pearlman - Web development teaching guru for Columbia University - shows readers how to use XML and SVG to create Web applications and Web pages that scale images and graphics perfectly on the client-side. Pearlman shows readers how to take advantage of the XML framework of SVG to render graphics from raw database data (using Javascript or other scripting languages) which can then dynamically update. Examples also show readers how SVG graphics can be animated and interactive, scripted to allow the user to change colors and fonts, and can be styled with CSS or XSL stylesheets. About SVG: Most web graphics today (with the exception of Flash movies and images) are bitmaps which don't scale well, render differently on different client browsers, and are relatively large in bandwidth. SVG, as a vector based program, scales to different sizes without a corresponding loss of resolution, can use a "color profile" to render colors more accurately between design and ultimate client use regardless of browser and monitor differences (even rendering accurately to devices such as PDAs and cell phones), and are usually smaller in bandwidth. SVG thus solves some issues web artists and graphic designers have been struggling with since the first Mosaic Web browser.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

ELLEN PEARLMAN taught at Columbia University's Computer Technology and Applications program for over a decade. She has also taught at the Parsons School of Design in their M.A. in Digital Design Program, The New School University's Computing Center, and at the City University of New York's Baruch College Internet Program. Pearlman was also director of research for Basex, Inc., a technology analyst firm specializing in knowledge management, virtual communities, convergence, and Web services.

LORIEN HOUSE is a graphic artist and Web designer who attended Columbia University's CTA program (programming track), and discovered she liked writing code almost as much as she liked drawing pretty pictures. With SVG, she discovered she could do both at once. House has designed and built Web sites for small businesses and nonprofit organizations, and recently worked on a project to bring interactive Hudson River sonar images to the Web for the first time.
