I encouraged him to take make his experiments public.  Looks like promising stuff for only two days worth of effort!<\/p>\n<h3>GWT Supports SVG<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roberthanson.blogspot.com\/2006\/06\/coding-svg-with-gwt.html\">Robert Hanson<\/a> gives everyone a clue to how to get the <a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/webtoolkit\/\">Google Web Toolkit<\/a> to support SVG.<\/p>\n<h3>KevLinDev Updates For Modern SVG Support<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kevlindev.com\/blog\/?p=65\">Kevin Lindsey<\/a> gives an overall thumbs-up for Opera 9 support of SVG, updating his site's experiments so that they work in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opera.com\/\">Opera 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>SVG Cards Finally Updated<\/h3>\n<p>David Bellot finally updated his <a href=\"http:\/\/freshmeat.net\/projects\/svg-cards\/?branch_id=51118&release_id=230458\">SVG Playing Cards<\/a> at the end of June.  I used a very trimmed-down version of his original SVG cards in my games <a href=\"http:\/\/www.codedread.com\/solitaire.php\">Solitaire<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.codedread.com\/freecell.php\">Freecell<\/a>.  I'll be interested to see how modern browsers can render this new version of cards.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.codedread.com\/googleads.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Dojo on SVG<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kunxi.org\/archives\/2006\/06\/dojo-svg-kick-off\/\">dojo-svg<\/a>, a library\/module of the Dojo toolkit has been advancing.  Further news along this front is that Dojo-gfx will be a \"universal\" front-end graphics application that can use SVG or VML underneath as needed.<\/p>\n<h3>Firebug Creator on SVG<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.joehewitt.com\/blog\/svg_and_xhtml_l.php\">Joe Hewitt<\/a>, creator of the awesome <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joehewitt.com\/software\/firebug\/\">Firebug extension<\/a> for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/firefox\/\">Firefox browser<\/a> has been doing some experimentation with SVG.  There are some things in particular that he doesn't like about the way SVG and XHTML mix.  I don't agree with his conclusions, but I do agree that coordinates in SVG take a little getting used to if you're coming from the HTML and CSS camp.<\/p>\n<h3>Treebuilder Renaissance<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.treebuilder.de\/\">Holger Will<\/a> has been going strong ever since his return to web development in SVG.  His website is a wealth of information and experimentation in SVG, including recent entries for progress bars, bar charts, SVG fonts and tutorials.  All within the space of just one month!  How does he find the time?<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.codedread.com\/googleads.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I try to summarize the most relevant news from the world of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) every month.
