Programming HTML5
ÜberConf
Denver · July 12 - 15, 2011
About this Presentation
HTML5 wants to make some major changes to the way we deliver media over the web and the way we mark up our pages, but it also gives us a bunch of new stuff in the browser's programming model. To ignore these new JavaScript APIs is to give up on a richer browser UI and a lot of fun.
In this session, we'll cover the geolocation API, local storage, the client-side SQL database, support for offline applications, in-browser threading, web sockets, and more. We'll look at the real, working code for as many features as we can manage, and discuss cross-browser compatibility issues as well. HTML5 is not an optional skill for web developers in 2011. Don't miss it!
