A massive market push for HTML5 related technologies is underway. Yet cross browser compatibility is a huge issue. Adding mobile browsers makes things even more complex. The specification isn't yet complete. With a future that is guaranteed to hold significant browser differences, it is imperative to adopt a strategy that allows for the best technologies to be used while not punishing non-compatible browsers. In this course offered to those hosting an onsite training workshop, we will look at HTML5 and CSS3 features. Even more importantly we will look at applying those features today, as well as design and development approaches to ensuring the richest web experience possible for everyone.
