The topic-du-month is “HTML 5″ which, if you haven’t heard about it yet, is set to shake up the web in some pretty interesting ways. Why? Well, the current version of HTML (v4.01) was standardized almost 15 years ago, well before people were building applications in browsers. Thus, HTML is pretty good if all you want to do is pen an “old school” web page. But if you want to make an application, something like Google Maps or GMail… well, those apps were made possible not so much because of what HTML can do, but in spite of it. HTML 5 is a bumper-to-bumper overhaul of the HTML specification, and it introduces a slew of new technologies, many of which are targeted squarely at application developers…
Robert Kieffer will lead this talk, which will provide a semi-technical overview of the various components of HTML5 (including brief, forays into code-level examples and demos), and will lead a discussion on how this will affect product development and business opportunities.
