HTML5 - Ofﬂine applications Advantages • UX - Offline usage • UX - Speed • Server - Reduced load Caveats • No love from IE < 10 • Size limitation 5MB (iOS 6 is up to 25MB) • Server side add text/cache-manifest mime-type Reference • Extension is not important but mime-type is • Absolute (same origin) and relative URI • Cached as a regular HTTP resource headers*

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

HTML5 - Offline Apps - Manifest • CACHE MANIFEST is a required first line • CACHE section is implicit, default behavior • Syntax checking *very* strict. Any error aborts caching • If any resources fails loading aborts cache update • CACHE does not support wildcards. Explicit path needed • A page referencing a manifest file is implicitly cached • Relative URIs are relative to the cache manifest's URI See appcachefacts.info for various quirks

HTML5 - Web Storage Old Way Cookies, Flash, Silverlight, AIR, userData in IE, Google Gears New Way • Isolation per sub-domain and per protocol. Does not expire until cleared • 5MB limit. Values are Strings. Webkit stores UTF-16 -> 2.5MB effective storage • No mechanism when quota is exceeded to prompt the user • Prompts the user ﬁrst time for permission to store data • Well supported: IE8+. Use history.js shim for older browsers

Slide 26

HTML5 - Geolocation Geo location detection Global Positioning System (GPS) Inferred: IP address, MAC, Cellphone IDs, etc. User Input Required Attributes latitude, longitude and accuracy are guaranteed in supporting browsers Other attributes will just return null if the information cannot be provided Browser Support IE9+, Modern Browser Privacy Concerns User agent has to explicitly ask for user permission to obtain location Recipients must disclose the data usage: How long the location data is stored? Is it shared with other sites/partners? Can the location data be updated or deleted by the end user?

HTML5 - Canvas Old Way • Using plugins such as Flash, Silverlight, JavaFX, SVG, VML • VML (Vector Markup Language) only works in IE • SVG, IE support since 9+ New Way • element, lacks border and content by default • JavaScript 2D API Browser Support IE9+, Modern Browser Older IEs - use explorercanvas.js (emulates Canvas via VML) WebGL 3D API - Full support in Chrome only
