As every web developer knows that Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is used to give style and control the layout of web pages and the latest standard of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is CSS3. There are many exciting new functions and features like advanced Text Effects, modules etc.
One of the important differences between CSS2 and CSS3 is modules, which means CSS3 has been split up into different sections.

Some important CSS3 modules are:

  • Selectors
  • Box Model
  • Backgrounds and Borders
  • Text Effects
  • 2D/3D Transformations
  • Animations
  • Multiple Column Layout
  • User Interface

There are around 40 CSS modules have been published through the CSS working Group, including Selectors, Namespaces, Color and Media Queries.

Some features of CSS3 are:

Selectors:
New selector in CSS3 will allow the web developer to select more specific levels of the document.
CSS3 Attribute Selectors
[att^=val] – the “begins with” selector
[att$=val] – the “ends with” selector
[att*=val] – the “contains” selector

Border Radius:
It is possible to make rounded corners without using images, JavaScript and its one of the best feature of CSS3.

Box Shadow:
Prior to CSS3 a designer must use an image or JavaScript to apply a shadow effect, but using CSS3 we can give shadow effect to almost every element of web page.

Multiple Backgrounds:
Using CSS3 it is possible to create multiple backgrounds on a single element.

Opacity:
One of the good features, and also probably most already used CSS3 feature.

It is sure that CSS3 will become a powerful tool for web developers in coming years, if it’s supported by web browsers and user-agents.

Here is an updated list of CSS3 Module Status.

We can tag each post with relevant words or names which will help readers to find similar postings in site. Tag clouds will increase the search queries and you will get more page views. Here is a WordPress code to show Tag clouds without using a plugin.

<?php wp_tag_cloud(array(
  'smallest' => 8,       // minimum size of tag
  'largest' => 14,       // maximum size of tag
  'unit' => 'px',        // unit for sizing

Google’s Project Glass is a research and development program which aims to build an augmented reality head-mounted display.

Google X and Project Glass

Through this project Google is trying to build a head-mounted device which will help the user to see the world combined with informations from Google services like show directions, map your location etc. Some technicalexperts on Internet says that it can used to find information about an object, translate a text, get directions instead of using a martphone.

“We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t. A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment,” says Google.

At Google they are running a experimental laboratory for developing futuristic projects (such as a self-driving car) and this lab is known as Google X, Glass project is part of this lab.

According to New York Times the head mounted devices available in market by the end of 2012 and the expected cost is as much as the costs of a smart phone. Its also expected that these devices would run on Google’s Android operating system.
