From: Nov 11/01/10 10:34 AM Subject: [GNHLUG] CentraLUG, TONIGHT, 1-Nov-2010, NHTI, Open Q&A, HTML5 From: "Ted Roche" The Central New Hampshire Linux User Group will meet at its usual place and time, NHTI Library, Room 146, first Monday of the month, 7 PM - 9 PM. Directions can be found at http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/NHTILibrary. We'll have an Open Q&A on what's new, anyone with questions, or news is more than welcome to contribute. Ted's been converting some web sites from older HTML to HTML5 and can show-and-tell what's involved. The basic conversion is simple, as HTML5 is a very relaxed standard. But there are a slew of new features worth adapting and integrating into your older sites and also newer ones: new tags for header, section, article, aside and footer, new data types, hints and validation for input fields, a greater focus on media beyond text. We'll take a peek at some of the books and web sites you can use for reference and ideas. We'll talk about the compatibility and tolerance of newer and older browser for the new features, how to test and validate your new pages, and how to develop a strategy for migrating existing sites or writing new sites using HTML5. Hope to see you there! -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ gnhlug-announce mailing list gnhlug-announce@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-announce/
