Refresh April: HTML5 and the Wonder of Web Standards
by Kevin Lawver on March 17, 2010
Before we get on to April’s Refresh, I want to send a huge “thank you” to Brad Taylor of Rails Machine for giving an updated version of his Geek Metamorphosis talk. It was awesome, and the conversation afterwards was great. Thanks to everyone who came and participated!
Brad also suggested the topic for April’s Refresh, which was quickly second and thirded. I’ll be presenting something I’m currently calling HTML5 and the Wonder of Web Standards. We’ll go over the major new features of HTML5 and a brief history of the HTML Working Group (including the WhatWG), what you can use today, how to get IE to play nice with it, and what we can expect in the next year or so.
April’s Refresh will be April 20th at 7PM. Right now, I think we’ll have it at our office again. There’s one more downtown option for a venue I want to look into, but you’ve got plenty of time to coordinate your attendance strategy.
Oh, and Dave Malouf’s set up a Google Moderator to help gather and vote on ideas for how to bring Google fiber to Savannah. Go vote and add an idea or two!

Good stuff Kevin and Brad.
Brad, inspite of being handicapped by the current festivities, presented an incredible perspective on grabbing on to life with both hands.
Thanks for hosting Kevin and http://www.uplaya.com

I think Brad’s “handicap” made him a little more “open” than he might have otherwise been, which made the presentation even better the second time around.
