Beantown ALT.NET Group

HTML 5 - Practices and Adoption

2

Topic:

In this meeting, we’ll go beyond the “What is HTML5?” introduction to focus on practical strategies, libraries, polyfills, shims, etc. for adopting HTML5 (and related) technologies today.  Of course, users will visit your site with a variety of browsers, each supporting their own subset of these features, so we’ll talk about strategies for tuning reach, including progressive enhancement, graceful degradation, and testing.

    Great to finally have ALT.NET in New England. I've always been jealous of folks in Seattle, NYC, etc, who have a local group that covers all the cool stuff coming out by the community that dotnetters can leverage but may not know much about. Great talk by Chris Bowen last night and a killer lineup for upcoming talks. Thanks John for putting this together!
