  2. HTML5 live: Rocking the boat – and causing a ripple

    • by • Conferences, HTML5 • 2 comments

    Today was the HTML5 live conference in London, England. In this one day conference around 150 attendees learned the why of HTML5, and how to implement it in the current work environment.

    As Mozilla’s representative I was asked to give a talk on how we are faring as a movement when it comes to HTML5. In the talk Rocking the boat – and causing a ripple I discussed the necessity to take HTML5 away from something to build cool demos in to be used in day to day products so we can find and report bugs. I also covered a few of the issues that are cropping up like “best viewed with browser X” products and trying to impress users by listing the technologies used rather than just using them to improve the overall experience. In the end we also list some of the new technologies and products Mozilla is working on to make the web a real application platform that has the same access that native applications have.

    The slides are embedded below and use a modified DZSlides as the system. Focus on them and use the cursor keys to navigate. Display bullet points by pressing space and show and hide the notes by pressing N. Alternatively you can also see the slides a simple web page.

    For our August Dev Derby, we decided to see what developers could do with the History API.

    We had 11 demos submitted and it was interesting to see how the History API creates new ways to interact with Web content.

    After all the votes were in, we had our August Dev Derby winners!

  7. HTML5: Time for some slicker apps – a talk at Kings of Code

    • by • Conferences, CSS, HTML5 • 1 comment

    The Kings of code conference in Amsterdam attracted a few hundred backend developers. Part hackday, part conference, Kings of Code spans over a few days and brings together developers from various backgrounds. The ambitious goal of the Mozilla keynote was to cover the relevant parts of HTML5 and CSS3 for this audience in 25 minutes.

    The presentation slides are available here and embedded below (use cursor keys to navigate back and forth and hit ‘n’ to show and hide the notes):

    The audio recording of the talk (raw, unedited) is available on archive.org.

    Overall the reaction was good, and we hope we managed to bust some myths and look forward to see what people do with the inspiration.
