In this showcase we designed a simple but yet very effective and useful contact page. For the beautiful drop effects we used the Advanced CSS Animator and DMXzone Google Maps for the location.

Last week we published an amazing hotel showcase with stunning animations and image display, and today we offer you another one that will be featured in the upcoming Grand hotel template. The contact page is very neat and simple but useful and impressive, and is designed with two DMXzone extensions only. Stay tuned for the official release, when you will be able to purchase all 5 pages in a template package and customize them quickly for your needs. Note that HTML5 Slideshow and HTML5 Parallax Slider are used in this template, so purchase them today with 50% discount!

When building websites with scripting languages that require compiling (Sass, Less, Stylus..), compiling them manually (or via refreshing the page) is usually an extra step. Prepros is an open source application for Windows OS that can do that automatically for Less, Sass, Scss, Stylus, Jade, Coffeescript, Haml and Markdown. It auto-compiles the source and injects the CSS (also HTML and JS) to the browser so that no refresh is needed. There are options for the compiling process like the output format or its style (compressed, nested..). Prepros also has a built-in + static HTTP server for testing any ajax requests.Advertisements:ioDeck, a self-hosted and awesome PHP form generator.

French Video Startup Weemo raises $3 million to expand to US. Metwit builds API for push weather notifications. Plus: Twitter extends API v1 life to June 11, new GEO APIs for Android, and 7 new APIs. Oui, Oui, Weemo: The $3 Million French Invasion that Takes on Skype Christine Farr at Venturebeat breaks the story of Weemo coming to the US to take on Microsoft’s Skype, Avaya, and Cisco. As she notes, the startup’s angle is to provide a product that can be integrated into other applications: “Today, Weemo has raised $3 million investment from European private equity firm Idinvest Partners, bringing its total funding to $5 million. With the infusion of capital, [Founder Thomas ] Cottereau intends to expand to the U.S., and add more talent to the team so it can compete with established vendors.” You can see in the graphic above that a video chat is integrated into a variety of other applications, which is all possible via–as regular readers of Programmableweb will have already guessed–APIs. The Javascript and REST APIs are available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, with full stack clients for Windows, Mac and iOS. Tiny company takes on giants. We have seen this conversation before. Who will succeed? That’s a hard call to make. Metwit’s API for Push Weather Notifications What’s the point of having a push weather notification telling you that it started raining outside? Just look out the window! Those who take this seemingly common sense view could be missing out on a lot–Metwit is on to something big. As Metwit tells it, their Push Notification API opens up a world of applications, including receiving a call or text when it is raining at home or snowing at the ski slope, and posting a job on Taskrabbit for snow shoveling once you learn your driveway is about to be covered. Documentation is available. Metwit crowdsources its weather data, ans makes it possible for users to send as well as receive weather reports.

We use labels on many parts of web design like providing information about images, form elements, videos.. Label.css is a simple-yet-useful set of CSS rules that provide a global label usage. Each label can be attached to any element, positioned how we want (right, left, top, bottom, inside, outside) and can be animated with float or fade effects. It works by adding pre-defined classes to the elements and the content of the labels are stored inside the data-label attributes of each element. Simply, a good addition to any stylesheet (or CSS framework).Advertisements:ioDeck, a self-hosted and awesome PHP form generator. Professional XHTML Admin Template ($15 Discount With The Code: WRD.)

What makes a trip to a restaurant a great experience is not just the fact that they serve delicious food and good wine, but it has a lot to do with the atmosphere and overall ‘vibe’ of the place. Of course, a ‘good vibe’ means different things to different people (some like it chilled and some like it loud and bustling), so imagine how cool it would be to be able to browse through dining options based on the exact atmosphere you’re looking for. That’s what Hoppit is all about; finding restaurants by atmosphere. Hoppit’s API provides access to this handy functionality. Hoppit is designed to give users a variety of dining options based on their moods. For example, someone may be heading out with a group of friends and they’re looking for something trendy and hipster with a lot of hustle and bustle. The app can provide a list of interesting eateries in a given area that meet these very requirements. Users simply select a location, choose the vibe they’re looking for and describe who they’re with (friends, family, kids, a significant other etc) to refine their search according to the kind of evening out they’re looking for. They can detail their search even further by adding the distance they want to travel, the price range they would prefer, the type of venue, specific cuisine and even noise level. The application then provides a selection of top restaurant matches along with maps, detailed information on the venues and high resolution restaurant photography. The Hoppit API gives developers access to the data used by this award-winning application, allowing them to integrate it with other applications. In order to access data and further information on the API, developers can register and create an account on Hoppit’s website. Sponsored byRelated ProgrammableWeb Resources Hoppit API Profile
