The web is the platform – presentation at MDN hackday in NYC

Yesterday we went to New Work City for the MDN hack day and I kicked off the day with a talk about HTML5, the opportunities it brings for developers and what people can play with during the day.

The slides are available and I recorded a screencast of me presenting them. The screencast is available on YouTube or in various HTML5 compatible formats at vid.ly (embedded below):

If you want an audio only version, you can find that one on archive.org or here:

Here are the things I am covering in the talk:

• World connection density map
• Mozilla Hackasaurus
• 18 days in Egypt documentary
• Mozilla popcorn
• HTML5 beanie maker
• Undoing the double sun in Star Wars
• HTML5 context menus
• Image cropping in the browser
• Building a game from HTML5
• BrowserID and a simple implementation example
• Mozilla Web APIs
• Boot to Gecko

Time to board my plane, more details on the MDN work week and the hackday on the Mozilla blog soon.
