July/August 2012 digital edition of Oracle Magazine.
This issue includes the mix of news, community, customer-focus, and technology stories you've come to expect in Oracle Magazine—and more. The cover story in this issue is about database security, and the cover design reflects the many layers of Oracle Database security solutions.
Here are some highlights from the July/August 2012 issue:
- Two-thirds of sensitive and regulated data resides in databases, and unless the databases are protected using a multilayered security architecture, that data is at risk. Learn how Oracle Database security solutions, including Oracle Database Firewall, Oracle Advanced Security, and Oracle Database Vault, mitigate that risk by addressing potential threats from outside and inside the database.
- Development tools must enable rapid application development to reach new devices quickly, and the tools must deliver a full-featured user experience to all devices. Read how three organizations are using Oracle databases and database development tools to deliver feature-rich applications fast to the latest platforms and devices.
- Oracle unveils analytics strategy and releases EPM, analytics, and Oracle Endeca products.
- Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure 3.4 enables secure desktop access from almost anywhere.

HTML 5 and CSS 3: Provide Great Benefits in Future Web
HTML 5 and CSS 3: Provide Great Benefits in Future Web
Design - HTML 5 Spells an Online Revolution
By Robert Playford Copyright © 2012
(This Article is an introduction to the 'HTML 5 & CSS 3
Elements' collection.)
HTML 5 combined with CSS 3 will soon be featuring on all websites within the near future. Both of these elements will
provide a simpler, more interactive and better looking internet. Websites will be easier to design and code. The
first working draft specification for the new html was launched at the beginning of 2008 by the World Wide Web
Consortium.
What is HTML 5?
This is the new coding of the web which will enable better integration of video, audio and user interface within
websites. HTML describes the full content of any given web page from headings and titles to overall content. HTML 5
replaces the old style of coding which was HTML 4. This was first launched in 1997. In the 90's, HTML 4 was perfect for
the needs of the average website which would contain mostly text and images. The old HTML code is now struggling to meet the demands of the media rich websites of today, so this upgrade is definitely overdue.
What is CSS 3?
CSS or 'Cascading Style Sheets' determine how the content appears to the user within a specific browser. This includes anything from colours, fonts and backgrounds. CSS 2 which was released just a year after HTML 4 and was proficient at providing the necessary styles for those websites of the 90's. CSS 2 was restricted to a handful of fonts, styles and effects. As previously mentioned, websites are more demanding these days and as a result CSS 3 is built with many more visually appealing and structurally complex elements.
Why do we need to change?
The average online user these days will not just expect to just read content and view images on a website. We take it
for granted that our websites will provide high quality videos, chatting interfaces, ability to watch tv or listen
to the radio and the ability to collaborate on work projects. HTML 4 is really struggling these days and simply
cannot cope. Web Developers are more reliant than ever on third party plugins and web applications that fill in the
blanks whenever the old code format cannot perform.
This article acts an introduction to this topic. The subsequent articles within the 'HTML 5 and CSS 3' Collection
will take a more in depth look at the features we can expect to see from both HTML 5 and CSS 3. A brief outline of these
components are included below:
What will change with HTML 5 and CSS 3?
• Visual Effects - Elements such as round corners and drop shadows are much easier to code
• Better Styles for Tables - The makeup and look of tables is vastly improved
• Custom Fonts
• New Forms and Validation - Native Functionality, no scripting needed for validation so less overall code
• Web Sockets - Providing a much quicker way of online data transfer and communication, can receive real time updates from servers.
• Better Offline Access - with internet rich applications that will store more information such as emails to view even offline.
• Geo Location
• Easy Transformation and Animations - Less time wasted writing JavaScript for simple animations
• No Plugins - No longer will we have to rely on third party plugins for audio, video or interactivity.
• Canvas - A native form of drawing functionality on the web with loads of various applications
