HANDS-ON HTML5

Building Real World Sites With HTML5

Presenter: Craig Sharkie

A degree in Fine Art may seem an odd stepping stone to a career in coding, but its a step that's led Craig Sharkie on a journey lasting over 15 years. With tenure at the Australian operations of Ziff Davis, AOL, Yahoo! and Atlassian, Craig's seen the Internet bubble, burst, and be re-invented, and at each turn his foundation in visualising the Web has stood him in good stead.

Focussing on accessible, extensible, and usable HTML, CSS, and JavaScript solutions to both leading-edge and legacy development issues, Craig continues to use the best of his disciplines to deliver interfaces that marry a user's goals with corporate aims. From onclick to Unobtrusive Scripting, via the DOM and Ajax, he enjoys coding standards based solutions even more than championing them, but perhaps on par with writing about them.
