South Africa Internet Infrastructure

Written by Adrian Fitchet
An Internet warrior in South Africa – the lack of Internet Infrastructure

So for as long as I have been in the entrepreneurial IT arena I have always been told how great it is because I can work from anywhere. Now, I must be honest, this statement does hold true for my line of work but I have come to find that it does fall very sort in the country we live in.
I'm going to touch on my personal web browser experiences and look at the web browser market share statistics along with Internet usage in South Africa.

Firstly, what is a web browser? Silly question you would think but it is amazing how many people I interact with have no idea what this is. I have to ask the question "what do you use to surf the Internet? i.e. Internet Explorer, Firefox, safari…". Some people do not understand that one requires an application (web browser) to surf the Internet.

CSS3 @Font-Face Embedding

Written by Miguel

css3The web is predominantly presented by and viewed in a spectrum of a few fonts, most notably Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana and Courier. These fonts are considered web-safe, purely because every computer has them installed.

 

For years, developers have tried to come up with ways to embed other fonts into websites. The most common of setbacks, is cross-browser compatibility. One such method (and probably the cleanest) of embedding fonts into websites is a technique called @font-face.

 

Even though Internet Explorer supports font embedding since version 4, the font has to be in the proprietary EOT format, and declared specifically for IE.
