A Note about Web Directions @media

Founded in 2005, @media is recognised as one of the world’s leading conferences for web professionals. We pride ourselves on keeping up to date on the latest developments in the design and development world. That means HTML5 has a big presence in our program of hand-picked world-leading experts this year. Here’s a taste of some of the HTML5 related talks and workshops that are taking place:

• HTML5 Doctor Bruce Lawson gives the lowdown on HTML5 for web designers, covering new semantic markup features, the HTML5 video and audio elements, and much more
• Fellow clinician Remy Sharp gets out his scalpel and dissects what HTML5 has to offer for application developers. He’ll also be delivering a full-day workshop on the same topic
• Jeremy Keith delivers a full-day workshop on semantic markup featuring HTML5
• Jonathan Stark looks at how you can use web technologies including HTML5 to build native applications for platforms like Android, iPhone, and iPad
• Matt Biddulph, founder of Dopplr, looks at adding geolocation to your web applications

Plus much, much more! For a complete rundown on what’s going on, see the full @media schedule.
