   and avoid the pitfalls of the language. This course is a
   condensed set of tricks, advices, tools and good practices
   built around JavaScript, with a logical flow that is always

Selectors API Level 2 Note Published

   18 October 2013 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3321

   The Web Applications Working Group has published a Group Note
   of "Selectors API Level 2." Selectors, which are widely used
   in CSS, are patterns that match against elements in a tree
   structure. The Selectors API specification defines methods for
   retrieving Element nodes from the DOM by matching against a
   group of selectors, and for testing if a given element matches
   a particular selector. It is often desirable to perform DOM
   operations on a specific set of elements in a document. These
   methods simplify the process of acquiring and testing specific
   elements, especially compared with the more verbose techniques
   defined and used in the past. Learn more about the Rich Web
   Client Activity.

Call for Review: API for Media Resources 1.0 Proposed Recommendation
Published

   15 October 2013 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3317

   The Media Annotations Working Group has published a Proposed
   Recommendation of "API for Media Resources 1.0." This
   specification defines an API to access metadata information
   related to media resources on the Web. The overall purpose is
   to provide developers with a convenient access to metadata
   information stored in different metadata formats. The API
   provides means to access the set of metadata properties defined
   in the Ontology for Media Resources 1.0 specification. These
   properties are used as a pivot vocabulary in this API. The core
   of this specification is the definition of API interfaces for
   retrieving metadata information in synchronous and
   asynchronous. It also defines interfaces for structured return
   types along with the specification of the behavior of an API
   implementation. Comments are welcome through 25 November. Learn
   more about the Video in the Web Activity.
