From system lockups and blue screens to diminished laptop battery life, the problems with a certain proprietary plugin are well known and widespread. The W3C is trying to alleviate these problems by allowing developers to embed video directly into the browser using the new video tag.
This talk will explain the history behind HTML5 video, the pros and cons of different video encodings and the legal aspects of one encoding in particular that has received an unfair reputation. Joe will guide us through various code examples culminating with a demonstration of CSS and Javascript integration.

Did you know that you can build applications out of HTML and Javascript that run on iPhone and Android devices? Not just "mobile web apps", but apps that run just fine when offline, use some device features like geolocation, can mimic the look and feel of native apps, and even be installed by users on their home screen.
We'll look at the rapidly changing landscape of WebKit app development and pick apart a fully functional, open source example app. Bring your iPhone or Android device along and you can see for yourself how this works across the platforms.
