Geolocation, native video, offline storage, semantic markup elements, responsive web design, canvas elements, voice input, drag and drop, opacity, gradients—HTML5 (a generic term that includes new HTML tags, enhanced CSS styles/behaviors, and new JavaScript APIs) has been released and is changing the way web developers work.With wide support in mobile browsers and the latest browser releases from Google and Firefox, HTML5 is poised to be the technology that helps build the next version of the web. This workshop looks at some of the possibilities, trends, and enhancements that HTML5, CSS3, and the new JavaScript APIs enable. Using exercises, the workshop walks through the specifics of implementation and works through building a prototype HTML5 application. Note: Familiarity with HTML and CSS is required as well as access to a text editor. Participants need to bring a laptop or tablet with access to these tools.
