Description:
HTML 5 and the future of the Web will explore the new monster on the block, HTML 5. It will present a broad overview of the new structural elements you'll be dealing with, various APIs built into the language, and what you can expect to encounter as you move forward with HTML 5.
We'll talk about how it is currently being implemented, how it may be implemented in the future, and how HTML 5 can create a more personalized and enriched experience across multiple platforms while saving development time.
We'll also look into ways you can start using HTML 5 right now, what you can do to prepare for the transition and how we can apply some of those methods to academia.
I enjoyed Tim's presentation on HTML5. He seemed knowledgeable on the topic, provided good examples, and competently answered questions posed by the audience. I was highly amused by his dry humor, and, judging from the tweets that went out during the presentation, I was not the only one!
Although some of his examples were a bit more technical than I would have preferred, I presume the developers among us appreciated the detail. One of the goals of the talk was to provide practical examples that attendees could quickly put to use; I don't know if he could have achieved that without the level of detail he provided.
