Talking at Opera's Engineering Seminar

,

Your browser doesn't support SVG - click here to download one that does. Talking at Opera's Engineering Seminar, which was held in Sarpsborg, Norway. All the svg examples and slides are available here. The slides are best viewed in Opera 9.5, and most of the demos can be run in Opera 9.5, but some require the experimental video build in order to run.

The graphics group leader Tim Johansson also presented some really neat demos, but I'll let him tell about them himself. Bascially I can't wait to get all of these changes into a mainstream Opera build, a lot of nice things in store indeed.

Anyway, drinking beer (and the poor excuse for a red wine) reminded me of a joke I once heard [in norwegian/swedish only], though paying ~90 NOK for a beer at the hotel bar, now that's a joke if anything.

UppLYSning

Your browser doesn't support SVG, click here to download one that does. Presented some of the new SVG features in Opera 9.5 today, and talked a bit about SVG as a standard and how it relates to HTML5, and Canvas in particular. It was interesting to see the university again, certainly was a bit nicer than when I was a student.

Since I couldn't find a vectorized version of the Lysator logo the slides uses a png version. Perhaps I'll make one for later if no one can point me to an existing one, and I wish I could recommend the vectormagic site, but it really worked really poorly in anything but explorer, and it uses flash. Double ick. However, it does output svg files and outperforms all of the other vectorizers that are freely available, and it's online, so perhaps it just about evens it out.

Here are the slides used for the presentation, in swedish only. The examples that were shown are available as part of the SVG Open 2007 archive.

And if you missed SVG Open 2007 you still have a chance to see this presentation November 27 at Lysator, the computer society at Linköping University. For more details see here.
