Opening Keynote: On the shoulders of giants

Webkit-powered smart phones like iPhone and Droid have come along at precisely the moment when HTML5, CSS3, and web fonts are ready for action; when standards-based web development is no longer relegated to the fringe; and when web designers, no longer content to merely decorate screens, are crafting provocative, multi-platform experiences powered by research, strategy, and years of social media know-how.

Jeffrey Zeldman, founder of the web standards movement, reviews the thinking and inventions that led to the modern web, and shows why we stand at the dawn of a newer, more mature web focused on ubiquitous interaction and powered by standards.
