The Impact and Risk of HTML5

@mikehostetler The Impact & Risk of

@mikehostetler The Business of JavaScript

@mikehostetler Let’s go on a journey together ...

@mikehostetler HTML5 for the Business World What is HTML5? How
do you leverage it? Economics 101: Open Source Edition Risks & Rewards

@mikehostetler What is HTML5?

@mikehostetler JavaScript HTML5 Speciﬁcation The HTML5 Technology Stack

@mikehostetler The Internet HTML5 is how Human Beings interact with
the Internet

@mikehostetler Hardware is standardizing on HTML5

@mikehostetler Web Technology Platforms all use HTML5

@mikehostetler Wait a minute ... Isn’t this just the web
as we’ve known it?

@mikehostetler Yes and No HTML5 is the next version of
HTML

HTML and it’s replacing Adobe Flash ...

HTML and it’s replacing Adobe Flash ... and it’s replacing Java Applets ...

HTML and it’s replacing Adobe Flash ... and it’s replacing Java Applets ... and it’s fueling the mobile explosion ...

HTML and it’s replacing Adobe Flash ... and it’s replacing Java Applets ... and it’s fueling the mobile explosion ... and it’s now invading the desktop ...

@mikehostetler HTML5 Standardization plus the increased hardware footprint will make
HTML5 and JavaScript the most popular software platform in the history of the world Where is this all going?

@mikehostetler How do you leverage it?

@mikehostetler General Distribution Pattern of HTML5 Software The Internet

@mikehostetler HTML5 and JavaScript application code is distributed in an
uncompiled form PROBLEM: thus, traditional methods of protecting intellectual property don’t apply

@mikehostetler How does the market handle this?

@mikehostetler To fully leverage the power of HTML5 applications ...
... you must learn to leverage Open Source

@mikehostetler Can’t beat them? Join them! HTML5 erasing an entire
market ... Embracing HTML5 made an old paradigm new again ...

@mikehostetler Economics 101: Open Source Edition

@mikehostetler Open Source as a Commodity? Commodity: A product where
the buyer is unable to distinguish between products from different producers. Examples: Wheat, Corn, Steel, Gold, Electricity, Crude Oil

@mikehostetler Commodity Market vs. Open Source Software Market A commodity
is easily switched between vendors Software Vendors cannot be easily changed vs. Commodity Pricing follows Supply & Demand Software supply is inﬁnite, so pricing cannot follow Supply vs.

@mikehostetler Conclusion: Open Source Software cannot be a Commodity!

@mikehostetler So what kind of market is it? Costs Zero
Direct Purchase Cost High In-direct Purchase Cost High Lifetime Operating Cost High Contingent Cost “The Website is Down” NASDAQ software bug SpaceX Flight Computer delays launch Strong Brand Preference My Linux Distro is “cooler” then yours Chrome vs. Firefox We’re a Microsoft shop Driven by Fear Inability to measure costs Trends towards perception of safety

@mikehostetler The Open Source Software Market behaves similarly to the
market for High-Risk Capital Goods

@mikehostetler So where is the money?

@mikehostetler Risks and Rewards

@mikehostetler Where does the cost occur? 0% 50% 100% Direct
In-Direct Operating R&D Locomotive HTML5 Application

@mikehostetler $0 Direct Purchase Cost $??? In-Direct Purchase Cost *
Training * Development $??? Operating Cost * Reliability * Device Eco- System changes? * Support $??? Ongoing R & D * Incredibly short technology life-cycles Costs of HTML5 based software as a High-Risk Capital Acquisition

@mikehostetler Yay! $??? Ongoing R & D * Incredibly short
technology life-cycles Costs of HTML5 based software as a High-Risk Capital Acquisition $??? Operating Cost * Reliability * Device Eco- System changes? * Support $0 Direct Purchase Cost $??? In-Direct Purchase Cost * Training * Development

@mikehostetler Yay! Risk Risk Risk $??? Ongoing R & D
* Incredibly short technology life-cycles Costs of HTML5 based software as a High-Risk Capital Acquisition $??? Operating Cost * Reliability * Device Eco- System changes? * Support $0 Direct Purchase Cost $??? In-Direct Purchase Cost * Training * Development

@mikehostetler Your ability to understand, quantify and manage these costs
and risks will directly impact the realized return on investment of any HTML5 Application project
