Just Added: HTML5 Training at jQuery Conference Boston!

Posted on by

Update: For the first time ever, we have a conference signage sponsor. Thanks to custom signs shop Signazon for your support.

The Boston conference is sold out (thanks everyone!), as is the Intro to jQuery training session, but the requests keep coming! In response to popular demand, we’ve added a second training scheduled for Friday, September 30th.

The training will focus on HTML5, and be taught by jQuery Core Team Member and Bocoup trainer Richard Worth. The price will be the same $299 (which, if you’ve been paying attention to HTML5 training rates, is a steal!).

Here’s some detail from the training description:

HTML5 is the next major milestone in HTML and it’s not just another incremental enhancement; it represents an enormous advance for modern web applications. A large number of HTML5 features are already supported in browsers, so it’s time to start using them!

In our HTML5 for Programmers Workshop, you will learn how to create HTML5 web pages and web applications using semantic HTML5 markup and cross-browser HTML5 JavaScript APIs. After completing this course, students will:

  • Know how to use semantic HTML5 Markup
  • Know how to use cross-browser HTML5 JavaScript APIs
  • Understand current browser support for the various HTML5 features
  • Understand how to polyfill HTML5 features on older browsers

Our training takes a step-by-step approach, solidifying fundamental concepts and building on them to leave each attendee with a more thorough understanding of HTML5. Using a 50% lecture / 50% lab format, attendees will be able to put the concepts they have just learned to use after each section.

  • HTML5 Overview
  • Using HTML5 Today
  • Markup
  • Forms
  • Canvas
  • Video and Audio
  • Drag and Drop
  • Geolocation
  • Web Storage
  • Web Workers
  • Communication and Web Sockets

This course is designed for software developers interested in designing, creating, and deploying HTML5 web applications. It is valuable to developers that already have experience in developing web applications. To get the most out of the course, you should be familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Prior exposure to any of these concepts will be helpful, but not required: AJAX, XML, jQuery, HTTP, REST.

It’s short notice, but we hope you can make it, so register now! As always, feel free to email events@jquery.org with any event related questions.

See you all at the show!
