An introductory talk about HTML5 and JavaScript for the general development public, which isn't necessarily focused on the front-end but want to understand what's going on the other layer of the applications they help develop.
The talk goes straight into demystifying what really *is* HTML5, what it can do for you as a developer and thus why you should be using it, later on moving onto JavaScript to encourage developers to delve into it while at least adopting a minimal set of good practices.
This presentation was performed at the Autodesk Technical Summit 2012 in San Francisco.
