HTML5 Presentation

On my new iPad, it's just slides with the numbers 1 to 5 on, and the buttons at the bottom do nothing. Will check on a desktop browser later though.. (Not saying this to moan, but because it's so tricky to get things right across devices nowadays, despite the standards.)

I think it runs out of memory on the iPad. I reused this presentation code for one I did and it works, so I don't think there is anything fundamental, although they could have broken something in an update. Remember it is all in one big page as far as the browser is concerned.

> The presentation was originally meant to run in Google Chrome.

1999 is back, baby.

And with a vengeance.

This is also a great tutorial/introduction to many of the features available to web developers.

If I were teaching a class on this subject, I would take students through this just to give them an idea of all they could create.

Stuff like this just proves how flash is superior to the html5 spec. This technology is fragmented and it's hurting the web. By the time all the smartphones are fast enough to run flash smoothly, there'll still be different browser implementations of html5. This is why it's a shame adobe stopped developin their mobile plug-in. Oh well, adobe air is still doing strong on native mobile apps.

The future of the Internet should rely on open standards and it shouldn't be controlled by the whims of one company. This has been explained repeatedly over the years but some developers ignored the warnings. Now that Adobe has decided not to support mobile, for whatever reason, you must obey their whims...

Woks great on Ubuntu 11.10. On my Nexus One Android the site came up but just the number 1 in the middle. I could swipe to the left and it showed a 2. At least it works well on Ubuntu Linux, very slick too, I found this site a few weeks ago ans shared with colleagues. Very informative to me.

There should be more information, for example page 2 (or 3) is Web SQL, which was dropped by W3C in 2010.

Yes, seeing this on one of the first slides makes the whole presentation look bad.

edit: I kept reading, and later on it has some -webkit specific stuff... not exactly an HTML5 presentation.

Great overview, much more extensive than any other I've seen and I like the interactivity.

impress.js is more JS heavy, but interesting in a similar vein: http://bartaz.github.com/impress.js

Great slide which covers majority of the features in HTML5. One thing to note is that notifications feature doesn't work on Safari but works fine on Google Chrome.

Performance is really sluggish on Opera. Maybe I just have too many tabs open, but transitions are usually better reserved for local apps in my experience.

Currently appears as numbers for me too (Mac, Safari 5.1.3). :-( I'd love to see it though. Will check it out on a different browser.

The look and feel of this presentation is starting to look outdated. HTML5Rocks.com should work on improving it! ;-)

Seriously guys? This presentation is almost 2 years old...

I've seen this on HackerNews couple of times. :-)

its worth noting that this is regularly updated, so if you haven't read it in the last few weeks, you should check it out again.

CMD+0 no longer works to reset to default zoom since you've bound it to the help toggle.
