Brave New World of HTML5

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.
