Browsers with Wings: HTML5 APIs

HTML5 has gained more and more attention over the last years. With browsers increasingly supporting the features of the vast JavaScript APIs both in and around the official HTML5 spec, its making the job of creating awesome applications purely using these web technologies very easy indeed.

This three day workshop will introduce you to HTML5 with a brief backstory, before diving into the APIs one by one. As well as going through code and showing practical demonstrations, where possible, well also talk about the alternatives and polyfills for old browsers that dont support "awesome" out of the box. The course is taught in english.

Audience:

Youre not expected to have played with HTML5 just yet, but you will need to have a reasonable understanding of HTML & JavaScript. A lot of the individual APIs are being used in popular web sites today both in desktop browsers and mobile, so rest assured that this applies to developers that are working on the web today.
