Fast HTML5 Web UIs for Every Device with Boris Smus

IMPORTANT: This event will be live streamed. URL will be posted here before the event begins.

About the Talk

Responsive web design is great for web pages, but falls short when developing complex web apps. In this talk, Boris Smus (@borismus) will cover his experiences writing real HTML5 apps for the cross device web. He will dive into code sharing across different form factors, layout considerations using the flexbox model, hardware accelerated positioning, scrolling, simulating :active pseudo-state, multi-touch gestures and other best practices.

About the Speaker

Boris Smus is an engineer working in Chrome developer relations. Prior to Google, he was a physical and social computing researcher at Carnegie Mellon University and before that, a software engineer on the iWork team at Apple. Boris spends his leisure time teaching computers new tricks, making music and enjoying the great outdoors.

    Thanks Tony. But, the links to your videos seem to forward to http://www.justin.tv/marakana_t...

    Boris did a great job. Giving live demos with so many devices connected over multiple networks is not for the faint of heart.

    I was also hoping to watch a video of this talk if one is available.

    Thanks!

  • Jim Gourgoutis

    Topic was interesting but too broad; too much info crammed into the hour with too many slides and the presentation ran long. Would've been better to do a more focused presentation on 1/2 or 1/3 of the material. Unfortunate technical difficulties, too.

    March 30, 2012

  • Craig Jones

    Boris' presentation flowed well from one point to the next and had lots of useful information. I'd definitely attend another presentation of his.

    March 30, 2012

  • Bret Wadleigh

    Great speaker, seems Boris was on his own connecting to a network, the venue should supply a dedicated line

  • Jessica

    We're working hard to ensure that this will be streamed live. We just got the equipment, so let's hope everything else works out (network speed, etc.)
