I’m Speaking At HTML5 Live (New York City, November 1, 2011)

Like the subject says, I’m going to be presenting at HTML5 Live in November.

Here’s the description:

HTML5 From the Front Lines: What to Embrace Today (and What to Avoid)

As an engineer working on big, consumer sites and applications, Rob Larsen has had hands-on, production experience with pretty much every emerging technology that’s available in a modern browser. In this session Rob will draw on that experience to walk through the current standards landscape and share his take on what technologies are worth using right now and which should be avoided.

It’s a good lineup and it’s in New York. What more could you want?

I’m Going to Be Talking About HTML5 at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference, June 23

Here’s the description of the panel I’m on:

HTML5 and its Impact on Enterprise Architecture (Location: Room 1)

Although not yet ratified as an official standard, HTML5 support is showing up across a variety of different browsers. And for very good reason: HTML5 includes support for an important range of functionality – much of which has a direct bearing on Enterprise 2.0 applications.

Join a panel of experts who will critically review the prospects for HTML5 across three areas:

* Enterprise Architectures
* Social Computing Applications
* Mobile

HTML5 is not a panacea, but it should simplify application development and help enterprises support a much wider set of mobile platforms. Come find out how.
Moderator – Jarrod Gingras, Analyst, Real Story Group
Panelist – Jonas Jacobi, Co-Founder and CEO, Kaazing Corporation
Panelist – Rob Larsen, Interface Architect, Isobar

I’ll be focusing on the mobile angle. I’ll be doing a 20-25 minute presentation and then will stick around to answer some questions.

It should be interesting as the audience for this is going to be far different than my regular open source and developer-centric audience. The really interesting part is that I’m going to be able to sell HTML5 to a crowd that might not be totally hip to the fun we’re already having.

Thanks to Everyone Who Came out to my CSS Talk

Look at all of the people that showed up for little old me:

Sweet.

Here are the slides. I’ll have some video soon (either of this one or of the upcoming version I’m giving at Design Camp Boston.)

Thanks to the folks from Boston PHP for the opportunity and to the guys over Bocoup for hosting.
