HTML5 Revisited Workshop
The technology space is a lot like the ocean - miss one wave and another will come along shortly; most shiny new things begin with a sizable amount of hype as everyone rushes to play with the new toy. This cycle is often met with a level of disappointment as we quickly discover our new bauble isn't all that and a bag of chips so we rush off to the next best thing ever.
A few short years ago, HTML5 was the new hotness but at the time browser support was spotty at best. Despite the spotlight moving on to something else, browser support has improved markedly and we even have new toys to play with! In this workshop, we will walk you through what is possible in today's browser as well as what other new features you might not be aware of. HTML5 may no longer qualify as bleeding edge, but it is still deserving of our attention.
