GOOD THING THOSE DAYS ARE OVER.
OR ARE THEY?
‹‹‹I’m the web I’m an app
Runs for 800 years without supervision and repairs itself
Gets shut down remotely and has no spare parts.

HOW COME?
WHAT’S WITH THE SUIT?
WE KEEP OURSELVES BUSY…
WE ADD BITS TO MAKE IT PRETTY
WE USE THIRD PARTY SOLUTIONS TO SHOW OFF
REDUNDANCY DENIED
BACK TO BASICS
WHAT WAS HTML5 MEANT TO DO DIFFERENTLY?
XHTML PUNISHED USERS FOR OUR MISTAKES
XHTML WASN’T “APP READY”
• focused: fullscreen with a simple interface
• rich in interaction: touch enabled app interaction elements
• mobile: works offline
• integrated: works with the OS and has hardware access
• responsive and fast: runs smooth, can be killed without taking down the rest of the OS
NOW WE HAVE THAT!
• focused: fullscreen APIs, manifest files.
• rich in interaction: new input types
• mobile: appcache, localStorage, indexedDB/WebSQL
• integrated: WebAPIs, Open Web Apps
• responsive and fast: too much to mention.
BEST FOOT FORWARD!
