Internet Explorer 8 has support for many HTML5 features, but do you know what they are or how to use them? We’ll do a quick overview of those features, see how they’re supported and then dive into the code and see real examples of how they work. We’ll take an existing website, and implement HTML5 features to make the website more performant, and powerful in Internet Explorer 8, and other browsers that have support for some HTML5 features.
Pete joined Google in 2011 as a Developer Advocate working on the Chrome Web Store team and the open web platform. He’s been designing websites since his early days in high school, evolving from overlapping <blink>, <marquee> and <font> tags on GeoCities to properly styled CSS, managed hosted websites. Pete works with the web developer community to build awesome new web applications using open web technologies like HTML5 and CSS3.
He can often be found traveling the world with his friends, seeing both exotic and ordinary sites, or in a black and white dark room printing something he shot with a film camera! He has studied and taught at the prestigious Photographic Center Northwest in Seattle where he completed his Thesis in Fine Art Photography.

For a sponsored session, it was relatively balanced and informative.
