Beginning HTML5 Media, Second Edition is a comprehensive introduction to HTML5 video and audio. The HTML5 video standard enables browsers to support audio and video elements natively. This makes it very easy for web developers to publish audio and video, integrating both within the general presentation of web pages. For example, media elements can be styled using CSS (style sheets), viewed on a mobile device, and manipulated in a Canvas or an audio filter graph. The book offers techniques for providing accessibility to media elements, enabling consistent handling of alternative representations of media resources. The update includes all of the changes and revisions since the first HTML5 draft. Beginning HTML5 Media dives deep into the markup that is introduced for media element support in browsers. You'll explore the default user interface offered through browsers for media elements, as well as the JavaScript API provided to control their behavior. You'll also learn how to account for H.264, WebM and Ogg Theora codecs as well as explore the emerging Web Audio API standard, which provides an extensive set of hardware-accelerated audio filters to achieve a level of audio signal manipulation in the browser previously only available to audio professionals.

Seit 1980 leiten Frauen reformierte Kirchen der Schweiz, selbstverstandlich und von der Basis unterstutzt. Der vorliegende Band enthalt Beitrage zur Fuhrungsrolle von Frauen aus einem neuen Blickwinkel: Esther Girsberger und Karin Ammann befragen die ersten Frauen in kirchlichen Spitzenpositionen: Was ist ihnen wichtig, warum haben sie Erfolg? Weiter wird gezeigt, dass fur die Fuhrungsrolle von Frauen neben der geschichtlichen Entwicklung der Schweizer Kirchen auch die typisch reformierte Spiritualitat wichtig ist, die ein anderes Verstandnis von religioser Fuhrung begrundet. Einer vergleichende Studie ist zu entnehmen, dass - anders als in den reformierten Kirchen der Schweiz - Frauen in kirchlichen Spitzenpositionen weltweit noch sehr selten anzutreffen sind.
