The Designer’s Guide to Working with SVG

By Gwen Vanhee

What’s the big deal about SVG, anyway? Don’t you just hit “Save as SVG” in Illustrator, and you’ve got yourself an SVG? Yes and no. While it’s technically true, by the same logic, every MS Word user is technically a web developer. Perhaps the question to ask is: Is that SVG file any more useful than an equivalent PNG or JPG? Often the generated SVG files we get from graphics apps are not actually very much use outside the application that made it. The real power of SVG becomes clearer when you’ve got a readable, manipulable document and not a dense, arcane document ejected from a graphics app. Today, I want to give you a speed guide…

OneDrive for Business Updates Web User Experience

Mark Kashman (@mkashman) is a senior product manager on the SharePoint marketing team. In March, at SharePoint Conference 2014, we announced a lot of goodness coming soon to OneDrive for Business in Office 365.

Is Your News Site Too Slow? Probably, Though, The Guardian’s Trying To Speed Theirs Up

Web publishers face a quandary in 2014: User expectations for how quickly a website will load are getting faster and faster. But web pages keep getting fatter and fatter, adding custom fonts, bigger art, more video, and more complex JavaScript into the mix. Our 3G reality often falls short of our broadband dreams. Patrick Hamman at The Guardian gave an interesting talk last week at the FrontTrends conference in Warsaw about how they’re trying to make theguardian.com load a lot faster in its new, responsive design, and there are a lot of ideas in here ready to be stolen by other news site developers.
