What do you know? That’s the question we posed 20 Australian designers, developers, UX folks and others for our first ever “What do you know” events in Sydney and Melbroune.

The format was simple — each of the speakers had 5 minutes to tell the audience something they know — think of it as super-​​concentrated (and fun) lessons in all sorts of cool stuff.

The crowds had a blast, and even better, we captured everything that happened on screen that night, along with audio.

Presentations covered all manner of design, development and other web related topics. So, in 5 minutes you can learn more than you might have thought possible on

• Bezier curves
• Accessing the gyroscope and accelerometer in mobile browsers (watch a live web based take battle built specially for the night!)
• WCAG ARIA
• Mobile HTML emails (our Sydney winner!)
• CSS3 Media Queries (our Melbourne winner, and great fun)
• Parallax effects in CSS

and much much more, including the world premier of Dmitry Baranovskiy’s Newton.js game dev engine (featuring an Angry Birds clone he built with it)

So, head over to the video page, and check out 100+ minutes of fantastic fun interesting presentations, 5 minutes at a time.

And stay tuned, as What Do You Know might be headed to your city early 2012 (well, if you are in Australia)

And, if you like the concept, then go ahead and borrow it — maybe in house at work, or with your meet up group, or your own community What do you know event. Drop us a line, and we’ll gladly give you some thoughts about how to go about it, and help get the word out if you like!
