About the event

The DocType HTML5 tour is now over. See Meta Refresh and JSFoo for our current web events.

DocType HTML5 is a part conference, part workshop, and part genesis of a developer community around HTML5. For the first time ever, HTML5 provides a single platform for desktop and mobile applications across devices. HTML5 is an open, vendor-neutral standard supported by the W3C web standards body.

The first edition of DocType HTML5 was held in Bangalore on October 9, 2010. It received a 96% positive rating, following which a multi-city series was planned.

What is HTML5?

HTML5, the new web standard that has been adopted by Apple, Google and many others, lets web developers create advanced graphics, typography, animations and transitions without relying on third party browser plug-ins (like Flash). HTML5 is completely open and controlled by a standards committee, of which Apple is a member.

— Steve Jobs

The term HTML5 has come to represent not just the new version of hypertext markup language, but a suite of related technologies and proposed standards. These include:

CSS3, Geo-location, Web Sockets, Canvas, Client Storage, Audio and Video.

Rich Internet Apps enabled by Advanced JavaScript Engines and Mobile Browsers.
