10. HTML as a platform to offer native-like experience
11. Standards...? ...What do you mean?
12. ACID3 result
13. ACID2 result
14. No standard controls •no radio-buttons •no checkboxes •no scrollbars, etc... There is a textbox, but most of them does not support type=”password”
15. No cookies :-( but a lot of cache <form action=”/?hash=DateTime.Now”> // ... </form>
16. Tooling Let me guess... No tooling? OKAY You can always use Chrome Tools, right?
17. Tooling - debug “Oppa grandma style” function log(msg) { document.getElementById("logo") .innerHTML = msg; }
18. There are some: •remote access (VNC) •emulators (mostly suckz) Tooling
19. Memory& performance AJAX Assets Killers }low
20. Things are getting better
21. the “The Challenge” dealing with heterogenous devices you do NOT have under your control

27. Test your conventions •in order to document them •in order to get feedback early •in order to manage exceptions
28. .NET lib - ConventionTests •http://teststack.net/ConventionTests/ return new ConventionData { Types = t => t.Namespace.StartsWith(“Terminal.Filters”) && t.IsConcrete<ActionFilterAttribute>(), Must = t => t.Name.IncludeAnyKnownVendor() }.WithApprovedExceptions(); Exceptions are stored as plaintext in repository
