JSFoo 2013

A talk explaining how to use HTML5 right here, right now, to create products that are ready for a market where people consume on low-end mobile devices.

Outline

The hype period of HTML5 is over. Finally the press and marketing departments have stopped promising unicorns that heal with violet-scented breath when you use HTML5 and we can start using the amazing wealth of technologies browsers give us in a sensible manner.

In this talk Chris Heilmann from Mozilla will show what is possible in browsers today, what you can do to save time and what you should avoid to ensure that the mobile web will not suffer from your products.

You will also see upcoming technologies that will make our job much easier by accessing hardware, digging deep into the browser and allowing our users to get data onto the web in the simplest fashion possible.
