Get the latest insights into WebGL from two browser vendors that have shipping implementations. This session includes an update from the WebGL working group chair and a walkthrough of one of the leading WebGL content engines.

Hands on WebGL
Zhenyao Mo, Ph.d | Software Engineer at Google's Chrome GPU Team | Google

The presenter will explain the basic concepts in WebGL technology before he walks the audience through the source code of a solid example; also, he will discuss guidelines for optimizing a WebGL apps performance, followed by a few WebGL demos.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION | Anatomy of an App
Andrew Lunny | Computer Scientist | Adobe

Hybrid mobile development frameworks most prominently Apaache Cordova,formerly known as PhoneGap make it easy to implement mobile apps using HTML5.But how does writing an app differ from a mobile web site? Well explore thechallenges, benefits and surprises of writing apps with web technologies.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION | The Future of Mobile Computing
Sy Choudhury | Director of Product Management, Web Technologies | Qualcomm

The smart phone is the computer of the future. As mobile and cloud computing expand, the nature of the web changes. See where these devices are taking us and how to develop for the wireless Internet.

The Future of HTML5 Motion Design
Paul Trani | Adobe Developer Evangelist | Adobe

HTML5 and CSS3 are hot,driven by an explosion of new, Internet connected devices. While theyoffer many new features that should allow you to do the types of things that you previously did in Flash, actually making it happen is really hard. Until now. Adobe Evangelist Paul Trani will give you a firsthand look at new technologies, including Adobe Edge, which is designed to save you time while creating beautiful motion and interactive content for the web.

Demystifying Devices: Understanding the Future of the Web and Apps
Paul Trani | Adobe Developer Evangelist | Adobe

Part of being a great web designer is understanding the medium you are designing for, recognizing its weaknesses and pushing its strengths. In this session, Adobe Evangelist Paul Trani will demystify the technology alphabet soup of CSS, HTML5, jQuery Mobile, PhoneGap, TypeKit and Sencha Touch so you can boldly execute on your next project or at least sound really smart in meetings.
