Have you done something cool with HTML5 lately? Of course you have. Come and share it with us. Send a couple of paragraphs describing your talk to html5Denver@gmail.com.

Talks are 10 minutes. That's it. Short. Sweet. To the point. No deep dives here. These talks reveal a couple of poignant nuggets of information that you'll want to explore in more detail later on your own, and you'll see different perspectives on what you love to do.

The lineup so far:

Break out of the HTML5 sandbox with the help of Qt by Michael Malak

We all know HTML5 as the holy grail for cross-platform. But what about cross-platform DESKTOP applications, where you need to access files on your computer or your network? HTML5 "sandboxes" you. In this presentation, you will learn how to use the cross-platform Qt GUI desktop framework as a thin wrapper around a WebKit-hosted HTML5 application -- to enable your HTML5 application to break out of its sandbox, while of course allowing you to keep the vast majority of your code in HTML5 for things like porting the code to cloud-hosting.

Big ideas for small projects by Jason Hummel

Javascript MVC frameworks are all the rage these days, but can be overkill for many projects. Many times as front-end developers, we're working on small interactions, such as improving the UI of an already functional webpage. Including massive frameworks for these small additions isn't warranted, but that doesn't mean we can't borrow some of their concepts to make our code cleaner. In this talk we'll look at the Backbone and Spine MVC frameworks and extract one or two ideas we can use in our own projects, no matter how small.

3d Math Visualization with WebGL by Tom Flaherty

MathBox.js (https://github.com/unconed/MathBox.js) by Steven Wittens at (www.acko.net (http://www.acko.net/)) "is a library for rendering presentation-quality math diagrams in a browser using WebGL. Built on top of Three.js and tQuery, it provides a clean API to visualize mathematical relationships and animate them smoothly". In this talk we will see some cool demos, learn how to assemble the technology stack and discuss what we can do will all this new capability.

Is Your Resume Telling Your Story? by Micheal Mendocha

Every resume tells a story – good or bad – and your resume is no different. When someone looks at your resume they see the encapsulation of your entire professional life. In just a few seconds, they will determine whether they should consider you or reject you. Literally, it’s a matter of seconds.

It's the story that sells any idea whether it's a product, a movie, or your resume. When you are looking for a job, telling your story is the difference between getting your dream job or ending up in a nightmare.

Come and learn how to create a resume that will get you to that elite status – the top 5% of candidates – Your resume that tells Your Story.

A Scene Graph for Modern Browsers by Jonathan Olson

Scenery ( http://phetsims.github.io/scenery/ ) is a library created by PhET Interactive Simulations for creating interactive 2D applications. Its core is built around a scene graph abstraction (Shapes, Text, Images, Nodes, etc. in a hierarchy) capable of being displayed with multiple technologies (Canvas/SVG/DOM andWebGL in the future).
One of its core goals is to deliver good performance across a number of devices while keeping application code clear and concise. If something is faster on the iPad using SVG with CSS3 transforms for each object, on IE with Canvas, and WebGL with Chrome/Firefox, we shouldn't have to deliver three separate implementations!
We'll cover an overview of the power of this approach, along with current and planned performance optimizations and features, and potential drawbacks.

Realtime Web Apps with SignalR by Ely Lucas

SignalR is a open source library built on ASP.Net and JavaScript that makes it ridiculously easy to build real time web apps that run on a variety of browsers (including IE6!). In this talk, we will get a brief overview of what SignalR is, and get a quick chat application up and running in under 10 minutes!

HTML5 Geolocation by Andy Gup

Have you ever wanted to build a JavaScript mobile app that uses location? Now's your opportunity to learn about how fun, easy and accurate it can be. HTML5's built-in Geolocation functionality let's you take advantage of GPS as well as other embedded services that provide easy access to Wifi and cell tower triangulation. The good news is that HMTL 5 Geolocation works well whether its deployed as a stand-alone mobile web app, or in a hybrid configuration. You'll walk away with some tips on how to optimize your apps for accuracy and battery life, and you'll get access to a github project that lets you play with the various HTML5 Geolocation API property settings to see what works best for you.

Crossing the Domain, by Jon Lind

Crossing the DomainMany people don't realize this, but HTML5 natively supports cross domain AJAX without the need for server shims. The window.postMessage API allows for much simpler interaction between windows and IFrames and can make the common cross-domain client code challenge much less complicated. And it works on pretty much all browsers--even IE8.

Adding a timeline to your web app by Joe Wilson

TimelineJS is an open-source tool that enables you to add visually-rich, interactive timelines to your web apps. We’ll go through the use case for adding a timeline to your app and cover some of the features of this simple-to-use library.

HTML5 + ActionScript - Flash Player == Large Scale App Yums by Jun Heider

Abstract: Does the thought of strongly typed business logic and advanced IDE features for your HTML5 application development make you salivate? ActionScript - and no not Flash Player - comes to the rescue.

During this talk I will introduce you to the Randori framework and how it will benefit your HTML5 applications. We'll also take a look at the development tools and workflow. There's a new age of HTML5 development dawning and you're not going to want to miss it!
