Killer App Design with Javascript and HTML 5

March 11, 2012 By 1 Comment

HTML5 and Complex Web Apps

Web 2.0 vs HTML5 apps

Web 2.0

  • Dynamic content
  • Database driven
  • Social applications
  • Stupid name
  • “The Internet is more than lame dancing genies and hit counters!”

HTML5 Apps

  • Interactive content
  • Real-time
  • Task-oriented
  • Cool logo
  • “You can have a desktop experience in your browser”
  • Not trying to replicate a desktop software experience.

HTML5 – New Markup (separating functionality and presentation in the DOM with data-* attributes)

Amazing JavaScript APIs

Application Architecture

Lots of tools available that will allow for a more robust application development process.

  • Moving state to the client
  • Wep app Kool-Aid: MVC/MVVM, pub/sub and the module pattern
  • Your application as an API

Don’t do it alone

Toolkits, precompilers, boilerplates, and more

For the enterprise-y among you

Testing, IDEs and other developer tools
