Want to be ahead of Everyone when developing for the web? want to know what’s new on HTML5? Want to know about what is out there that can make your life - as a developer - easier? Well - I got my answers to these questions on Google Developer Day, Israel 2011. Being a Front end developer, I took the sessions of Chrome & HTML5 while also travelling a bit to other sessions just to get a snick peek.
Over the past few months, I have heard that question many times.
Many think HTML5/JavaScript is going to replace it, and with Adobe releasing Edge it seemed to be a valid point. Deepa Subramaniam, Senior PM for the Flex team, alleviates those concerns with her post (rather a post on the Flex team blog).
Modernizr is a small and simple JavaScript library that helps you take advantage of emerging web technologies (CSS3, HTML 5) while still maintaining a fine level of control over older browsers that may not yet support these new technologies.
