| Description | 'Regressive Enhancement' is using HTML5 in your apps right now. There are countless ways to make your site work with HTML5 without breaking backwards compatibility in older browsers. We've decided to pool together the topic experts in our wildly broad definition of HTML5 and ask them very specifically 'why they think the HTML5 family of technologies and specs are important' and 'how to solve the backwards compatibility issues.' HTML5 has outgrown its strict definition, and has become the new cool-kid buzzword to mean "anything new that browsers are now supporting and didn't before." This is fine. Let's embrace this umbrella term and talk about how to get this family of technologies working. Topic experts in CSS3, HTML5, ECMA5, and other HTML5-related technologies will each talk specifically about their field of expertise, why it's important, and how it can be used. A section will be dedicated to "how to sell HTML5 to your boss" and how the panel members handle similar situations in their respective workplaces. The goal of the panel is to make HTML5 a practical option for the every-day web developer, and getting approval for it is sometimes the hardest part. There are a slew of reasons why you'd want to use it in your every-day websites and we'll try to get some good ideas for you to get the ball rolling at your place of business, or directly between you and your clients. The panel will wrap with an audience Q&A section. |
