I was privileged to be invited to speak at the inaugural Speak The Web "gig" conference, in Sheffield on Monday 8 February. I demoed lots of HTML5, especially video.

The presentation is available on Slideshare:

The demos I showed were

• canvas first-person shooter
• canvas first-person gifter
• Filament Group's jQuery plugin for graphing data tables
• My HTML5 forms demo, including range, date, regex validation

The video demonstrations were from the newly-published article Introduction to HTML5 video and Accessible HTML Video with JavaScripted captions.

Some other useful resources:

• HTML5 validator
• HTML5 outliner
• the author's version of the HTML5 specification (much shorter than the main version and generated from the same source, but without all the parsing rules and algorithms for browser manufacturers and other implementors)
• HTML5 Doctor (I'm a co-curator of this site)
• An article called Designing a blog with HTML that covers some of the new HTML5 markup elements. (Two articles on my personal blog cover it in much more detail: Redesigning with HTML 5 and WAI-ARIA and Marking up a blog with HTML 5 (part 2).)
