Title:

HTML5: The Web platform as an application runtime environment

Abstract:

The HTML5 draft and related drafts add new standard features to Web browsers that make the open Web platform a more powerful environment for developing and deploying applications — and that bring the Web platform into greater feature parity with other application platforms and runtime environments. This talk covers some of those HTML5 features, including the Web Sockets API and protocol, client-side persistent data-storage mechanisms, Web Workers, and the W3C Geolocation browser API.
