Standards.next presentations

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure to attend the first edition of Standards.next, an informal bootcamp about tomorrow's web standards, organized by my fab colleagues Bruce and Henny. A quick overview with lots of links to online resources:

• Bruce Lawson presented HTML 5: Are you mything the point?. There's a video available, showing Bruce in all his glory.
• Dean Edwards showcased his html5.js library, which implements Web Forms 2.0 in a range of browsers, allowing anybody to start using this technology right away: enjoy the video, and be sure to check it out once Dean releases the library.
• Remy Sharp talked about HTML5 JavaScript APIs (PDF version). All Remy's demos are available on the HTML5 Demos site, and there's also a video.
• Martin Kliehm showed that Canvas can be used for more than for drawing spirographs: get all details in his HTML5 and Canvas slides, referenced links, and video snippets.
• And to finish, Steve Faulkner gave an excellent overview of the debates surrounding HTML5 and accessibility.

Also worth a peek: the event pictures of our man Patrick H. Lauke.

If you're interested in attending future Standards.Next events, I recommend keeping an eye on the #standardsnext Twitter query, or subscribing to the Standards.Next feed.
