Upgrading the web with a polyfill service

The Financial Times is well known for HTML5 work, and some of their open source contributions have become essential parts of the web developer's toolkit. The FT's newest public project is a polyfill service designed to take the work out of supporting legacy browsers. Andrew Betts, director of FT Labs, will talk about the aims of the service, what it has achieved so far, how you can use it and get involved to help make it a powerful tool for the modern web. He'll also reflect on Fastclick, FT's first and still most popular project, which is now integrated into Meteor core.
