I like to keep things subtle.I’m Martin Beeby and I’ve been a web developer since I was 16. I’ve been developing websites for 12 years. I wouldn’t bother trying to do the maths…. I’m 21.I’ve Worked at Microsoft for Just over a year and a half
So platform Preview 1 was launched at the Mix conference in 2010 and with it came a number of CSS3 features, Border-radius, Selectors and the color module. We also added Hardware Accelerated SVG. We gave a commitment that we’d continue to release these platform previews every 8 weeks.It’s worth noting our Acid 3 score.
