The Making-Of: BikeSharingPlus

The Making-Of: BikeSharingPlus

Seit etwa einem Jahr boomt der Leihrädermarkt in Deutschlands Großstädten, in Berlin hat das BikeSharing-Fieber ganz besonders zugeschlagen. Innerhalb des Berliner S-Bahn-Rings finden sie sich überall und in jeder Farbe.

Doch dass jeder der zahlreichen Anbieter eine eigene App erzwingt, um das nächstgelegene Fahrrad zu finden ist sehr ärgerlich. BikeSharingPlus ist ein Ansatz, eine Karte mit allen namhaften BikeSharing-Anbietern auf dein Smartphone zu bringen.

In dieser „The Making-Of“ Serie berichten wir dir aus erster Hand von den Entwicklungsständen und Schwierigkeiten die es zu überwinden gibt.

Getting Started with NodeJS: Creating a Simple HTTP Server

Getting Started with NodeJS: Creating a Simple HTTP Server

Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. This simple web server written in Node responds with “Hello World” for every request. To run the server, put the code into a file example.js and execute it with the node program from the command line.

The Project „LUDIC“

The idea was to create a surreal world based on simple geometric light shapes that seem misplaced, but somehow blend with its surrounding at the same time.

Shapes that emphasize the mood of its surrounding in the most simple way. By installing electroluminescent light shapes and wires in untouched landscapes, a single lightsource tells a surreal story of magic and loneliness in a surreal and intense way. Every environment has its own light installation. The intention was to summarize all installations in a cinematographic way to create a touching short film.

Getting Started with Frontend: Cascade Style Sheets & HTML5

Getting Started with Frontend: Cascade Style Sheets & HTML5

A lot of mobile-minded talented folks across the globe produce great work, but yet sometimes you still hear many of them complain about their relationships with their clients. They often mention feeling isolated and not truly understanding what the client really needed.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL.

Responsive & Mobile Design

Responsive & Mobile Design

RWD allows easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from mobile phones to desktop computer monitors). A site designed with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids, flexible images,and CSS3 media queries, an extension of the @media rule.

Responsive web design is becoming more important as the amount of mobile traffic now accounts for more than half of total internet traffic. This trend is so prevalent that Google has begun to boost the ratings of sites that are mobile friendly if the search was made from a mobile device. This has the net effect of penalizing sites that are not mobile friendly.
