With the rise of advanced desktop and mobile browsers, high performance javascript engines, and ever increasing networking bandwidth, traditionally ‘frontend’ skills are in more demand than ever. PHP developers are increasingly finding themselves needing these skills more and more to remain competitive. This workshop will cover new features introduced in HTML5 and CSS3, how to use them today with modern browsers (and fallbacks), as well as tips and tricks to save time and do amazing things. It will also cover a refresher on JavaScript basics and dive into recent advances in libraries and coding techniques that power modern interactive web applications. The workshop will walk through from start to finish a simple web application utilizing as many HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript techniques as possible. By the end the attendees can expect to have a grasp on things ranging from new tags, new style properties, advanced selectors, event-driven asynchronous JavaScript programming, new services such as GeoLocation, and much more.

HTML5 and CSS3 offer some great features that everyone is clamoring to use. However, not everyone can simply rip apart their site and redo all of their markup and styling across the board. There are some quick wins, especially with CSS3, to be had that you can integrate into your site without rewriting your whole entire site.

Ok- so HTML5 is here and it does some really cool stuff! Being the latest “new shiny”, your company to show off how bleeding edge they are by having a spinning 3d header bow, 53 web fonts, video boxes, galleries, etcÖ STOP! Remember when Flash first came out? Every site had an opening Flash page. A term was created for that- Flashturbation. It’s when something was created for the sole purpose of looking cool- forget the fact that people were leaving the site because all they wanted was to get directions or find a product but got tired of the loading screen for a animated fly-by of the company’s logo. Kevin Bruce will demonstrate how to keep usability and practicality in mind while looking bleeding edge technologies minimally, but effectively.
