@media 2008 Presentation
This year, I have the pleasure of presenting at @media in London. I will be presenting with my colleague James Graham, whom I’ve not yet met, but who I’ve known online through the WHATWG for a while now. Our talk, entitled Getting Your Hands Dirty with HTML5, will focus on how the HTMLWG and WHATWG are working to address the needs of authors and users, and demonstrate real use cases for the new features being introduced.
