Join us this month for a special encore presentation from David Padbury of Lab 49. If you saw David's talk at the NYC Code Camp last month and loved it, then you'll want to come to our meet up where David will both reprise the great content of that talk, but also extend it and target it to our audience of XAML developers.

PLEASE NOTE

Because I need to get the attendee list to Microsoft early for the building security, I must close registration at midnight on Tuesday, November 8th. Please be sure to reply before if you wish to attend.

HTML5 for the Silverlight Guy: An introduction "serious" HTML5 for Enterprise development.

So you've seen the fancy graphics goldfish bowl HTML5 demos and sure, it's very pretty. But it doesn't really help you understand how you'd go about writing the kinds of applications we currently build in Silverlight and WPF today in HTML5 and JavaScript.

We'll be taking a look at the "dull" side of HTML5 and JavaScript. There will be no fancy graphics demos or talk of new tags, instead we'll be taking a well known WPF+SL example of how you build a large application and look at how these techniques we already know apply to HTML5 and JavaScript.

Topics we'll be covering:

  • Modularization using AMD+RequireJS
  • Building UI components
  • Using PubSub to decouple large JavaScript applications
  • CSS Compilers (LESS/SASS/Stylus)
  • Dealing with browser inconsistencies using CSS compilers and Modernizr
  • Plugin based HTML5 development
  • A discussion about tooling for HTML5 and how it's not the dire situation that is often portrayed.

David Padbury

David Padbury is a senior consultant at Lab49 where he helps the world’s largest banks and financial institutions write advanced applications. He’s mainly focused on real-time HTML5+JS front-ends but does a lot of .NET, Java and other interesting stuff too. He runs the NYC .NET Meetup and will soon be launching a NYC HTML5 Applicaton Development group.
