Meta Refresh 2012

Web design could use some new ideas. We have the tech now.

HTML5 and CSS3 have very quickly moved from being tentative new standards to the base standards for every major desktop and mobile browser. HTML5 is now just HTML, a modular, living standard that no longer needs a version number.

Now that we are no longer fighting over platforms, it’s time to put the specs aside and revisit the construction of user interface: how do we raise the bar for stellar user interface on the web?

Meta Refresh is a follow-up to DocType HTML5 from 2010-11 and is a conference on web UI engineering.

Objective of the talk is to cover all the things which add an extra level of shine or are usefull things for developers to code with, whether its advanced and new CSS3 properties, or various new APIs being supported amongst browsers, or just new development techniques.

Outline

Apart from that, we’ll be covering device access features, as well as a few other JS APIs and other tips and tricks which are scarcely talked about, but developers will find usefull to know about.
