The Ajax revolution saw a sea change in web application development. By taking advantage of long-dormant browser capabilities, we were able to take our craft to new levels with HTML5—reinventing well-established genres, challenging desktop applications, and jump-starting a renaissance in web start-ups.
So what happens when we have new browser features to exploit? This session explores some of the latest shiny toys we can play with—potentially disruptive technologies largely packaged under the HTML 5 banner that just might upset the status quo once again.

Really enjoyed the talk. For me, this really kicked off the conference, because up until this talk, everything had been mostly fluff and non-technical. The overview of HTML5 plus some of the Q&A was really valuable. One of the top 3 presentations I saw during Web 2.0.
