"HTML5 basics" presentation

Open Mike night is intended to introduce new speakers to the community. I've been going to community stuff in London for a couple of years and I thought this was a good opportunity to step up and give something back. There were four other presentations, which were all excellent:

• Sara Stephens - "Pair programming, the good, the bad and the ugly"
• James Knowles - "Three years of running a tiny software company.. All my mistakes.."
• Matt Lacey - "Cross platform mobile app development"
• Garry Shutler - "Introduction to Sass"

I gained something watching all of them. I hope others got something from my talk. Thanks to Toby for organising the night and to Michelle and EMC Consulting for organising the venue and drinks. So, I wanted to post the resources that I pointed to in the presentation. These are some of the best HTML5 resources that I've found so far:

• http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/ - the draft standard
• http://html5readiness.com/ - visualisation of browser support
• http://caniuse.com/ - detailed browser support information
• http://modernizr.com/ - Javascript library for HTML5 feature detection
• http://html5demos.com/ - HTML5 demos, unsurprisingly!
• http://diveintohtml5.org/ - excellent detailed read
• http://html5doctor.com/ - "helping you implement HTML5 today"
• http://html5boilerplate.com/ - base HTML5/CSS/JS template
• http://findmebyip.com/ - shows you the HTML5 support in your current browser, and a raft of other information
• http://www.miketaylr.com/code/input-type-attr.html - HTML5 inputs and attribute support in your current browser

Hope you find them as helpful as I have. EDIT: Toby's blogged about the event and upcoming events and one of the attendees has written a little summary. I'd agree that Sara and Rachel stole the show with their sketch to explain pair programming. I might have to use interpretive dance to describe HTML5 next time!
