Learn About HTML5 and the Future of the Web

June 29, 2010 - 4:21 am 25 Comments

San Francisco Java, PHP, and HTML5 user groups hosted an event on May 11th, 2010 on HTML5 with three amazing speakers: Brad Neuberg from Google, Giorgio Sardo from Microsoft, and Peter Lubbers from Kaazing.

In this first of the three videos, Brad Neuberg from Google (formerly an HTML5 advocate and currently a Software Engineer on the Google Buzz team) explains why HTML5 matters – to consumers as well as developers! His overview of HTML5 included SVG/Canvas rendering, CSS transforms, app-cache, local databases, web workers, and much more. He also identified the scope and practical implications of the changes that are coming along with HTML5 support in modern browsers.

This event was organized by Marakana, Michael Tougeron from Gamespot, and Bruno Terkaly from Microsoft.

Microsoft was the host and Marakana, Gamespot, Medallia, TEKsystems, and Guidewire Software sponsored the event.

    Great speaker! What I’d like to know is: which “pieces” of HTML5 are supported by which browsers right now. Does anyone have a link with that info?

    @galapas FLash is not easy indexable, it’s not opensource. (flash belongs to Adobe) and Flash generally has a bigger file size.
    So. Flash is indeed a great way of making applications. But HTML5+CSS+javascript isn’t worse. It’s a different way of showing data, a way which is more common.

    @bluefisch200 Thanks for the information :) I know it’s wrong to be that harsh to IE, but 80% of my work I’m busy fixing javascripts, CSS and HTML to make sure it works in that browser as well. Not to mention in all versions of it. (Yeah my employer wants everything perfect! haha ^^)

    One the most important things of HTML5 is finally art designer and software engineer has the same “communication language” and doesn’t have to stick on one company’s technology. It is useless to compare whether flash or HTML5 is better, market will let you know the results.
