HTML
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the most basic building block of the Web. It defines the meaning and structure of web content. Other technologies besides HTML are generally used to describe a web page's appearance/presentation (CSS) or functionality/behavior (JavaScript). "Hypertext" refers to links that connect web pages to one another, either within a single website or between websites.
HTML5 Canvas Tutorial: An Introduction
One of the most important instruments in a painter’s toolkit is their canvas. It gives them the freedom to express all kinds of feelings, impressions, ideas, and so forth, in almost unlimited variations and combinations. And that freedom can be restricted only by two things — their skill level and their imagination. The situation in the web development world is similar. With the ongoing progress of HTML5 and its powerful specifications, web developers have gained the ability to do things that were impossible in the past. Drawing graphics and creating animations directly in the browser is now completely possible thanks to a technology called HTML5 Canvas.

The suite of technologies that fall under the "HTML5" banner have, as a fundamental goal, the capabilities to build within this new breed of software. In this article, I’ll review a technology that solves an important piece of the application puzzle—managing storage and retrieval of user-specific data on the client side—called "IndexedDB."

HTML5 Presentation
In March 1936, an unusual confluence of forces occurred in Santa Clara County. A long cold winter delayed the blossoming of the millions of cherry, apricot, peach, and prune plum trees covering hundreds of square miles of the Valley floor. Then, unlike many years, the rains that followed were light and too early to knock the blossoms from their branches. Instead, by the billions, they all burst open at once.
HTML5
This specification defines the 5th major version, second minor revision of the core language of the World Wide Web: the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In this version, new features continue to be introduced to help Web application authors, new elements continue to be introduced based on research into prevailing authoring practices, and special attention continues to be given to defining clear conformance criteria for user agents in an effort to improve interoperability. This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication.

(These are my notes from the first half of my talk at HOPE9 last weekend. I write notes like these not as a script, but so that I have at least some words ready in my head when I'm speaking.
