Chris and Rob are great speakers, and the demos were surprisingly impressive. I was mildly dissapointed that there were no code examples.

B2G is cool and looks farther along than I thought. (I was the one who asked about process-separation and electrolysis.) I really like how the B2G manifest functionality is also impacting the desktop experience... Nice to see some of the Apollo/Air "try it and take it with you" features there.
And hell, if everyone's going to post their job pitches, I won't be shy: Come be the awesome UX person on my scrum team at PlayStation! Mail [masked] with portfolio/resume

As being a web producer the subject was little over my head, but yet the presentation was so successful and easy to digest. I'd like to keep up with current technologies, and the event served its purpose for me.

Very good talk. Well prepared. The ad-hoc nature added alot. Although we should be more respectful of our hosts.

Always great to run into the Mozilla folks :-) Definitely entertaining. Remember : General Electric is hiring ~400 technical professionals in San Ramon. Many HTML5 Engineer and Lead positions (UI/UX exciting stuff)

Yikes, that seems like a lot of money for such a simple topic.
Honestly daniel, I would take a self paced course on Udemy or purchase a book, I learned HTML5 from the sitepoint books
and then post questions to the various html 5 groups when you get stuck. - You can even ping me I will be pleased to answer any questions that I can for you steven at stevenbenjamin dot com.June 24
