At FOWA London 2009 Bruce Lawson gave an introduction to HTML 5 and how it might be used in the future.

The HTML 5 spec was originally called “Web Applications 1.0″. Most of the attention has been on the new markup elements, but in his talk he takes a further look at the applications side of the spec, covering:
