HTML 5 and the Future of Web Apps Presentation [PDF]
The Ajax revolution saw a sea change in web application development. By taking advantage of long-dormant browser capabilities, we were able to take our craft to new levels with HTML5—reinventing well-established genres, challenging desktop applications, and jump-starting a renaissance in web start-ups.
So what happens when we have new browser features to exploit? This session explores some of the latest shiny toys we can play with—potentially disruptive technologies largely packaged under the HTML 5 banner that just might upset the status quo once again.

Enjoyed it, but as with all the good sessions at Web 2.0 Expo, it wasn’t long enough or in-depth enough.
@Frank,
Sorry about that. It was really tricky with such a mixed audience. As a fill in speaker I did my best to honour the intentions of the original speakers. So I’m sorry you didn’t get as much out of it as you had hoped.
If you want some gory slides I suggest Remy’s excellent HTML5 slides from JSConf (www.slideshare.net/remy.sha...) which dive into a few features of HTML in more depth with code snippets.
This talk would have benefited from a level of experience in the description as it was intended for a lower level of professional then me.
I think Tom did a tremendous job of getting this presentation together as it appears that at the last minute the orginal presenters where unavailable. It provided a quick overview of the potential of HTML 5 as well as some practical advice for what features are feasible to use now.
