HTML5 and You

Learning to Love HTML5 - Smashing Magazine Advertisement It seems that new resources and articles for teaching and promoting HTML5 are popping up almost daily. We’ve been given HTML5 templates in the form of the HTML5 boilerplate1 and HTML5 Reset2 (although they both go beyond just HTML5 stuff). We’ve got a plethora of books3 to choose from that cover HTML5 and its related technologies. We’ve got shivs4, galleries5, and a physician6 to help heal your HTML5 maladies. And don’t forget the official spec7. From my own vantage point — aside from a few disputes8 about what the term “HTML5″ should and shouldn’t mean — the web design and development community has for the most part embraced all the new technologies and semantics with a positive attitude.

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. Then came the wind. It roared off the Pacific Ocean, through the nearly uninhabited passes of the Santa Cruz Mountains and then, flattening out, poured down into the great alluvial plains of the Valley. This perfumed blizzard hit Stevens Creek Boulevard, a two-lane road with a streetcar line down its center, that was the main road in the West Valley.

HTML5 A Framework for Ethics in Software Development This is Version 1 of this document. It is a work in progress. There are many points that are not yet addressed and information which is still missing. This document uses Deep Linking. Introduction Why Write This? I have been told many times in recent months, in a variety of contexts, that software developers do not need a code of ethics. A great deal of effort has been put into maintaining a rather misguided status-quo by people who stand to lose a lot of money if things change; namely, the Business Software Alliance, the Motion Picture Association of America, and the Recording Industry Association of America. A near equal amount of effort -- perhaps even more -- has been (albeit less efficiently and effectively) devoted to convincing the public that the ability to copy and modify software with no restrictions is a natural right, by the Free Software Foundation and others. A Note about Laws Assumptions, Silly and Otherwise We need a framework for ethics in software development. References
