Chris Bowen: HTML5 Development

Chris Bowen from Microsoft will be joining us to discuss developing websites and applications using HTML5.

Title: HTML5 – A Practical First Look

Abstract: It seems that HTML5 (or at least discussion of it) is everywhere these days. Let’s delve into why it, and related web standards, are getting so much attention. We’ll look at HTML5′s new options and elements as well as other specifications like CSS3, ECMAScript5, SVG, and beyond. And because knowing what’s new is only half the battle, we’ll also discuss practical techniques for implementing features today while accommodating a variety of browsers and clients that may not fully support these new options.
