Announcing a new Meetup for The Online ColdFusion Meetup!
What: “HTML5 Love and the Future of the Web”, with James Brown
Our 6pm (US ET) talk on Thursday June 16 will be “HTML5 Love and the Future of the Web”, with James Brown.
TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)
HTML5 is here and isn’t just hype any longer. The major browsers are already supporting it and if you don’t start learning it, you could be left behind. We will review features and enhancements that are changing the web as we know it. This isn’t some high-level overview. We’re going dive right into code and look at examples you can use today. We’ll also discuss how to code for backwards compatibility with older browsers. Lastly, we’ll explore how to use HTML5 on mobile devices. You aren’t going to want to miss this meeting!

HTML5 is supported in most Web browsers, but, most importantly, it’s supported on Apple’s iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, where Flash is banned.

Start using open web technologies like the HTML5 canvas tag right away, even technologies that aren’t yet supported in Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8. Take advantage of JavaScript performance improvements to make your apps faster and more responsive.
Making your pages work with Google Chrome Frame is easy. Just add this tag to the top of the page:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">
Download the plugin for Internet Explorer here.

Adogo Meeting About HTML5
I attended today our ADOGO (Adobe Developers of Greater Orlando) meeting. Adam Fortuna spoke about the new stuff coming with the HTML5 standards by the W3C. (You may read it here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/)
It was a very good presentation, he and his colleague Daniel from Izea showed some examples using the localStorage feature where you can now store data locally on the client’s computer (maximum 4MB). That will be good for working offline with data entry and then connecting later to upload.
The new tags <header>, <footer>, <aside>, <article> are cool, but the coolest I think are <video> <audio> and <canvas>. Easy way to show video, graphics.
Unfortunately, those features are supported only by Firefox 3.x and the Mac browser, no Internet Explorer yet (it will be a long time until Microsoft launches IE9).
Well, good job Adam, and thanks for sharing.
