Session descrip­tion

HTML5 was orig­i­nally called Web Applications 1.0, but that doesn’t mean it’s only for scripters – there’s plenty for markup mon­keys as well as JavaScript junkies.

We’ll look at new struc­tural ele­ments in HTML5, and how they can boost acces­si­bil­ity, how to style them (even in IE!). We’ll check out how new seman­tics can reduce the JS you need to write/​copy by adding func­tion­al­ity natively to the browser, and how to add sexy open stan­dard video to your pages with no Flash, no JavaScript, just a big hunk o’ open-​​web love.
