Watch HTML5 intro to Web Directions

Take some WebGL, a little Canvas, with CSS transitions, CSS 3D transforms and CSS masks thrown into the mix and you get this year's introduction montage for Web Directions South.

It’s a great way to start a conference by showing the capabilities of the technologies to be discussed, and this year’s Web Directions South was no exception.

The creator in this sequence, Cameron Adams, has posted a video and an in-browser page for the adventurous. We couldn’t get the in-browser page for 2011 to work, but we suspect it was our laptop that wasn’t crunching fast enough.

Adams also did the titles for WDS 2010, which used 2458 lines of JavaScript and 841 lines of CSS.

Some would say that it is a long way from software engineering to journalism, others would correctly argue that it is a mere 10 metres according to the floor plan. During his first five years with CBS Interactive, Chris started his journalistic adventure in 2006 as the Editor of Builder AU after originally joining the company as a programmer. Leaving CBS Interactive in 2010 to follow his deep desire to study the snowdrifts and culinary delights of Canada, Chris based himself in Vancouver and paid for his new snowboarding and poutine cravings as a programmer for a lifestyle gaming startup. Chris returns to CBS in 2011 as the Editor of TechRepublic Australia determined to meld together his programming and journalistic tendencies once and for all.In his free time, Chris is often seen yelling at different operating systems for their own unique failures, avoiding the dreaded tech support calls from relatives, and conducting extensive studies of internets -- he claims he once read an entire one.
