After skipping the conference last year in favour of d.construct and FOWD this year I put my faith into @media again. And I was not disappointed.
None of the presentations covered any wildly controversial topics I but I enjoyed all of them. With Mark Boulton’s and Simon Collison talks being the highlights I guess. Some of Simon’s suggestions will no doubt find their way into the eConversions workflow.
Standards.Next
The true highlight was Standards.Next on saturday though. It is supposed to be the first event in a series of events about emerging standards. This time the topic was html5 and featured excellent presentations about a variety of aspects of html5. Bruce Lawson has a nice summary of the presentations on his website
All this got me really excited about the possibilites of html5 and I will definitely make use of it in the upcoming mindgarden relaunch (I’m working on it, really). And for everyone who wants to use html5 today the html5doctor.com website has gone online too. Go there to find out all about how you can make use of it right now.
Or go to http://html5demos.com/ to see some demos of Canvas or drag&drop. All really exciting stuff.
