3. Less and More: How HTML5 Will Change The Framework Landscape Alex Russell

   09.55 – 10.40

   

   HTML5, CSS3, and whatever come with and after them are going to once again change the way we build web sites and apps, and in ways that are just a profound as the transition to Ajax for dynamic interactions.

   This talk discusses what we'll be using JavaScript less (and more) for in the years to come and how mobile, the Chrome Web Store, and Google Chrome Frame will accelerate the transition

4. Coffee Break

   10.40 – 11.10

5. About the Peer to Peer Web and Why You Should Care Jan Lehnardt

   11.10 – 11.55

   

   This talk is a gentle introduction into the nebulous topic of the peer to peer web. We'll have a look at mobile devices, laptops, desktops and the cloud and how they all fit together today and how it it is already shaping up to look in the future.

   I'll highlight some technical and social hurdles that need solving (this is where I hope to get you, the listener engaged in helping to shape the future).

   Finally, I'll propose how Apache CouchDB is one of the foundational building blocks of our peer to peer future.

6. Batshit crazy stuff you'll be able to do in browsers Paul Rouget

   11.55 – 12.40

   

   SVG, CSS3, HTML5, Workers, Video, WebGL, super fast Javascript engines, hardware accelerated graphics - let's see how far we can go if we mix all these crazy things.

   This talk is an experiment. You'll cry, you'll scream, you'll laugh...and hopefully, will get inspired!

7. Lunchtime

   12.40 – 14.10

8. Building @Anywhere: A Client-side Interface to Twitter Dan Webb

   14.10 – 14.55

   

   @anywhere is a JavaScript library that allows you to access Twitter's API directly from the browser. In this talk we'll dive in to the highs and lows of the cross-domain communication and client-side authentication techniques that underlie it. You'll can gain an insight into just what it takes to create a client side API to your web application as well as some crazy browser black magic that might just be incredibly useful one day.

9. High performance browser games Paul Bakaus

   14.55 – 15.40

   

   Graphically intensive and fast paced browser games written in pluginless JavaScript largely do not exist yet, for a very specific reason – performance issues.

   Only recently, browser engines started to give us enough quirks and hacks to power full motion graphics, animation and real time interaction. With unprecedented depth, you'll learn why Canvas isn't the obvious choice, why you should write JavaScript in front- and backend, why HTML5 really is just a buzzword and how to leverage CSS hardware accelerated to create true platform independent games. Dive in to the world of JavaScript gaming!

10. Coffee Break

    15.40 – 16.10

11. PhoneGap: the Future of Mobile NowBrian LeRoux

    16.10 – 16.55

    

    We know the future of the web is mobile, but what's the future of mobile? In this session, you'll learn how to step-up mobile app development with widgets and device APIs. Add these two technologies to your toolbox to begin building next-gen mobile apps today.

    With more than 4.6 billion handsets on the planet, we know the future of the web is mobile, but what's the future of mobile? The latest builds of mobile browsers include HTML5 APIs, which enable speedy hardware-accelerated CSS, offline capability, client-side storage, geolocation and other goodies. But, what's next?

    Two web technologies are ushering in the next generation of mobile apps: widgets and device APIs. As self-contained web apps, widgets significantly improve user experience. Device APIs do more than extend web apps to mobile devices. They allow access to native device sensors, like the accelerometer and camera, and to data such as photos and contacts. By adding widgets and device APIs to your toolbox, you can start building sophisticated mobile apps now.

    In this session, PhoneGap hacker Brian LeRoux will guide you through the step-by-step creation of a W3C widget. He'll show you how to combine it with device APIs and deploy it using the PhoneGap open source framework. Learn how to develop for the mobile web of the future, today.

12. Pixel Pushing Pounding Seb Lee-Delisle

    16.55 – 17.40

    

    Seb Lee-Delisle brings his experience programming visual effects from the World of Flash to the Universe of JavaScript to show how to create dynamic canvas effects. He'll also show how you can now use JavaScript within unity3d to produce console quality games that run in the browser, on your iPhone and even on your Xbox!

13. Closing Remarks Remy Sharp
