With the rise of the CSS3, we're seeing more & more tutorials + websites everyday that help us to use it.

After the CSS3, Please!, which was shared at WRD few days ago, Randy Jensen has created a very easy to use website for creating CSS3 rules named CSS3 Generator.

CSS3 Generator

It simply lets you to choose the rule from a list that includes:

  • border radius
  • box shadow
  • text shadow
  • RGBA
  • @font-face
  • multiple columns
  • box resize
  • box sizing
  • outline

and customize them while previewing the outputs instantly.

PC.DE, a website focused on new generation internet technologies, is sharing 4 different sets of free icons.

Every set contains the same items which are drawn differently and consists of 60 icons.

They come in 2 sizes: 16*16px & 32*32px, both in transparent .PNG.

Geolocation is one of the most popular subjects for today's web & there are many solutions that help geo-enabling web applications.

YQL Geo Library is an impressive resource for geolocation as it is totally free & JavaScript-based.

It has various powerful features like:

  • detecting the visitor’s location with the W3C geo API and with IP as a fallback
  • find geo location from text
  • find location from lat/lon pair
  • find locations in a certain web document (by URL)
  • get the location for a certain IP number

YQL Geo Library

The library is lightweight (4kb uncompressed) & non-complicated. It just works by calling a function like:

yqlgeo.get('217.12.14.240',function(o){
  alert(o.place.name + ',' + o.place.country.content +
        ' (' + o.place.centroid.latitude + ',' +
               o.place.centroid.longitude + ')'
        );
});

will get you the city, country, latitude & longitude of any given IP.

Spritely is a jQuery plugin for creating dynamic character & background animations using HTML + JavaScript.

With the power of JavaScript, the animations can be controlled on events (clicks, mouseovers) easily.

jQuery Spritely

Animated elements can fly over the page without effecting any other element (can be ideal for floating-type banners) & the page still remains accessible.

Specially, for the platforms where Flash is not supported, Spritely can be an alternative (like iPhone, iPad).

It works in all major browsers including IE6.

CSS3, Please! is a web-based & simple-yet-effective cross-browser CSS3 rules generator.

As every browser may require different prefixes for the CSS3 properties, this tool makes it so easy by providing them all with an editable & well-commented way where the output can be seen instantly.

Currently, it helps you write the rules for: border-radius, box-shadow, linear-gradients, rotation & @font-face. Some other transforms like skew & scale will be added soon.

For some transforms, that Internet Explorer can support via IE filters, they are mentioned too.

SlimStat is an open source web analytics application that collects & presents statistics information about your website.

It is built with PHP-MySQL & can be integrated into websites with JavaScript (like Google Analytics) or PHP.

SlimStat

For  the given period, the application can display:

  • the number of visitors/pageviews
  • referrer URLs, domains
  • search terms
  • browsers, OSs, countries, screen sizes

There is also a "paths" feature that shows a user's browsing path page-by-page.

You may be asking, "why to use SlimStat instead of Google Analytics?" The best answer would be "live stats".

Nicolas Gallagher is sharing a creative way on creating good-looking speech bubbles with CSS3.

There are no images or JavaScript in the implementations but uses the :before and/or :after pseudo-elements to produce basic shapes.

The HTML remains semantic however we should remember that CSS3 is not fully supported by all major browsers & we may again require JavaScript to add this support (like IE7.js).
