"HTML5 basics for app devs" at BarCamp London 8

I’m at my first BarCamp this weekend (BarCamp London 8). I decided to do my "HTML5 basics" presentation again. I think it went quite well – there are a few bits that I could have explained better I think and a projector issue meant that my slides were yellow where they should have been white, but otherwise good. It was a room for 30 and it was standing room only (which is down to interest in HTML5 rather than me of course). Here are the resources that I pointed to in the presentation. These are some of the best HTML5 resources that I've found so far. Hope you find them as helpful as I have.

• 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

We’re half way through Sunday and I can say that BarCamp has been great. The BCL team are quite practiced at conferences now and everything is running smoothly. It’s pretty remarkable for a free conference. Many thanks to everyone involved.
