Introduction
Engineering Calculator VOLTA-2012 is implemented as HTML 5 web application project that adheres to software paradigm of separation of programming concerns, namely:
- Content: HTML5
- Presentation: CSS3
- Functionality: Javascript/jQuery
Entire project is encapsulated in a single text file with extremely small digital footprint (less than 10kB). It does not require any graphic files, like .jpg or .png, etc. All aesthetic enhancements, like: rounded corners, color gradients, borders and shadows are achieved exclusively via CSS3 styling, thus resulting in small application footprint and very fast web page load.
Ultrabook features
- Tilt Sensor: to switch between portrait/landscape screen layout (TBD)
- Touch screen
- Geo-location data to query the Power Mains database (TBD)
Proposed solution should be able to run in Desktop/Metro modes .
