Tut Of The Month
For a long time one of the most astonishing features that made flash as the premiere technology for integrating multimedia into the web was it's ability to access and control a user's camera on their computer. Fast forward to the advent of HTML5 and this is no longer the case as camera control can happen right within your browser without any plugins.This month's
Tut of the Month is an awesome tutorial by
David Walsh which succinctly breaks down how to achieve this with rather surprisingly simple code.

Our Pick for Sept. 2012 —
Typically we try to select a tutorial that is free to the masses but this month's pick is so good, we had to make an exception. In order to get the actual step by step tutorial you need to be a premium member on
tutsplus, but the good people over at
webdesigntuts+ posted a link to the final result of the tutorial and if you're nosy like us and enjoy finding out how a cool technique is achieved, putting in the work is well worth it. Kudos to
webdesigntuts+ and
Joren Van Hee for putting together such an awesome tutorial.

Our Pick for August 2012 —
Even though this month's pick for
Tut of the Month isn't technically a tutorial, we decided to go with an article on CSS sprite sheets by
James Duquenoy
— published on
webdesigntuts+. Besides giving a general overview on the ins and outs of using and creating sprite sheets, the highlight of the article is its introduction of
SpriteMe — a free bookmarklet-based sprite sheet tool that will generate both a sprite sheet and accompanying css from any website using individual images.
Our pick for this month's edition of
Tut of the Month features a great breakdown on how to create a custom HTML5 audio player by
Aaron Lumsden's
— published on
webdesigntuts+.
The tutorial shows how to build the player with HTML and CSS along with making it come to life with jQuery.
