HTML5 Camp - as it were

(I’ll say right away that the reports of the reports are ready and in the process of publication - we will write separately when everything is laid out - I hope, today or tomorrow.)



So, on November 30, the second HTML5 Camp took place in St. Petersburg. The event aroused great interest among web designers and web developers and their sympathizers :)

In total, the event was attended by over 650 people plus a huge audience online (over 15k connections and up to 4243 simultaneous broadcast views).

Opening

The event was opened by Alexander Lozhechkin, Director of Strategic Technologies at Microsoft Russia, who spoke about the evolution of modern web technologies:









Our approach to the introduction of new technologies in Internet Explorer:

(By the way, the same day, the release of Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview 4 was announced)



Modern problems in web development and ways to solve them:


I also had the chance to have a hand in the opening - I showed demonstrations:

(For more details on one of the demos using Canvas and WebSockets, see the article " Drawing on Canvas via WebSockets, or how our demo worked on HTML5 Camp .")

Then the word was passed to Nikolay Pryanishnikov, President of Microsoft Russia, who spoke about current trends in the IT industry, which are closely intertwined with the development of web technologies:






He shared the plans of Microsoft in the future and the tasks we face:


IE6 also turned out to be forgotten - thanks! You were a great product, but we need to move on:


Then Nikolay returned the word back to Alexander Lozhechkin, who briefly spoke about the upcoming conference content:





And announced additional details on the DevCon'12 conference , which will be held in May 2012:



That was the end of the discovery and the word was passed on to Ben Livshits, a Microsoft Research researcher who gave a keynote address on security and privacy issues in the context of HTML5 and new technologies:




(everything that happens is broadcast online to online viewers)

Sections and reports

After a short break, the hall was divided into two sections, in which reports were made in parallel. More technical reports competed with the designer, deeper and demanding more knowledge with more overview and introductory, telling about the current state of the industry.

It is unnecessary to talk about each report in detail - they just need to watch and absorb knowledge! But below are some beautiful photos:


Opera's Vadim Makeev talks about how to handle a wide variety of mobile devices.


Ben Livshits in the second report shares the results of research in the field of detecting malicious scripts on the Internet.


(again, I) talk about the many CSS3 modules that you can already start using or that are just penetrating into browsers.


Roman Menyakin from Adobe shows off his company's new products for working with HTML5 and shares Adobe's vision for the development of web technologies.


In parallel, Gaidar Magdanurov talks about new APIs for JavaScript (and before that he talked about using Node.js on Windows).


Alexander Demidov from 1C-Bitrix shares his experience in using HTML5 in mobile solutions, obtained during the development of BitrixMobile.


Pavel Krivoruchko from Keiss Media talks about their company's experience in developing games in JavaScript and HTML5.


Alexei Androsov from Yandex attracted great attention of the audience with a story about the practical use of HTML5 in J. Mail.


Vladimir Kolesnikov talks about the use of HTML5 in mobile applications and shows
how to make HTML5 apps for Windows Phone (or any other platform).

Cultural and entertainment program

Particular attention was paid to the atmospheric component of the conference. Starting, in fact, with a stunning hall at the Park Inn Baltic:


and colorful decoration of the hall and navigation:


Conference participants could make a cool photo for memory with a magic HTML shield:






Play HTML5 games:




Or jump in Kinect:




Or just relax and chat over coffee and cookies:






Or feel yourself Windows Phone:






Or participate in the drawing of books on testing with Visual Studio:






Or get hosting from Infobox:


At that time, participants of the online broadcast could watch interviews with participants and speakers:


The highlight of IE6 was the highlight of the entertainment program:








At the end of the event there was a quiz with a prize draw:

After closing, everyone was waiting for a snack:






That's about it and it was :) Until we meet again!
