Source: developerWorks : Web development : Technical library For a while, there has been a struggle for the future of markup on the
web, a struggle between the W3C's XHTML 2 and HTML5, developed by the
major browser vendors under a separate organizational umbrella. First, the W3C
took over HTML5, and now it recently announced the sunset of the XHTML 2 effort. This
makes a significant difference to the future of XML on the web, and
furthermore, because of HTML5's momentum, it is now a technology
that every XML developer already has to deal with.
But fans of XML need not despair: HTML5 supports a proper XML
serialization. Learn about the XML form of HTML5 including some key
differences from older XHTML conventions and learn how to practically apply this
vocabulary in modern web browsers.
Source: developerWorks : Web development : Technical library HTML 5 comes with plenty of new features for mobile Web applications, including visual ones that usually make the most impact. Canvas is the most eye-catching of the new UI capabilities, providing full 2-D graphics in the browser. In this article you learn to use
Canvas as well as some of the other new visual elements in HTML 5 that are more subtle but make
a big difference for mobile users.

the cost of ownership and dramatically increases scalability. In this
tutorial, learn how to write a simple application that allows a small
car repair company to track its customers using Lotus Forms, and then run it on
the cloud using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). No prior cloud computing
experience is necessary.

include their applications in popular Web sites, such as iGoogle, MySpace, Hi5,
LinkedIn, and others. In this article, explore OpenSocial gadgets through hands-on construction of an application that leverages the pureXML
capability of DB2. This article is the last in a series of three that illustrates how to build a
pureXML application whose user interface is a gadget that you can deploy in any OpenSocial compliant
Web site. Follow the steps in this article to build a user interface that stores and retrieves the
JSON data described in the first article through JSON Universal Services created in the second article.
Source: developerWorks : Web development : Technical library Create a custom Dojo build for your custom widgets without
including any modules from the dojo/dojox/dijit packages into your build output.
Custom Dojo builds reduce the number of modules to be downloaded by combining all
the modules into a single file, thereby reducing the number of network calls
required for the individual module files. These techniques were developed with a
real-world project where compact packages were a requirement. This article helps you to create
optimized Dojo builds using the Dojo build tool.

Source: developerWorks : Web development : Technical library Creating modular, extensible Web applications using standard Java EE deployment has its challenges, but can generally be accomplished with good design practices and discipline. Where it gets really hard, though, is when you want to separate out common modules to share between multiple enterprise applications, or use multiple versions of common libraries at the same time. OSGi is a Java modularity technology that has been used internally in IBM WebSphere Application Server and the Eclipse platform for many years, and was designed to enable the development and execution of dynamic, modular, extensible applications. The WebSphere Application Server V7 Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and JPA 2.0 enables modular enterprise applications to use OSGi directly to dramatically simplify their development, assembly, and deployment. The feature pack also provides an infrastructure in which modular design is no longer just a best practice but is the only practice.
