I love Barcamp. Getting together with like-minded people, sharing knowledge in an informal setting, for free — well, who could not like that? I spent my saturday at the second edition in Gent, kickstarted by Johan Ronsse. After my talk about getting your frontend sorted together with Jurriaan Persyn at the fist edition, this time I decided to dig a little deeper in the HTML 5 specs.
Below are my slides (or you can check my presentation on Slideshare). They also include two cases that didn’t fit into the 20 minute timeframe, one about the local storage APIs and one about the new video element. I had a great time, and look forward to the next edition!
Merci voor de snelle samenvatting, L. Erg duidelijk 🙂

Awesome presentation, sharing it with everyone. (I hope the next barcamp will be here in the Philippines :p )
[…] Yesterday I spent another great day in Ghent, at the second Barcamp to be hosted in the nice IBBT environment. It was, without doubt, the greatest barcamp I ever participated in. They quality of the presentations goes up and up each time. Also, my own presentation, this time a hands on demonstration of some cool new features in HTML5, attracted more people than ever. Maybe, because the Netlog lead designer and I decided to do a 40-minutes dual-presentation. […]
