Visualizing Data on the Web
We are far from the early days of ugly HTML. We have sophisticated visualization tools available to us now to help our users consume complex data in attractive and informative ways.
Come hear how you can adopt these visualization systems (calling them libraries is inappropriate) today.
HTML 5 Overview
People are confused about the status of HTML 5. Is it ready? Is it not? What is part of the spec and what isn't? We'll talk about the situation in the “HTML 5 and the Kitchen Sink” discussion, but as always, the proof is in the pudding. We will introduce the most exciting new features of HTML 5 and its related technologies and build examples that use them.
