Presented some of the new SVG features in Opera 9.5 today, and talked a bit about SVG as a standard and how it relates to HTML5, and Canvas in particular. It was interesting to see the university again, certainly was a bit nicer than when I was a student.

Since I couldn't find a vectorized version of the Lysator logo the slides uses a png version. Perhaps I'll make one for later if no one can point me to an existing one, and I wish I could recommend the vectormagic site, but it really worked really poorly in anything but explorer, and it uses flash. Double ick. However, it does output svg files and outperforms all of the other vectorizers that are freely available, and it's online, so perhaps it just about evens it out.

Here are the slides used for the presentation, in swedish only. The examples that were shown are available as part of the SVG Open 2007 archive.
