The document discusses two open-source projects from Intel called Rapid Interface Builder (RIB) and Web Simulator that can be used to develop and debug HTML5 apps. RIB allows quick prototyping of web app UX through a drag-and-drop interface. Web Simulator allows debugging mobile web apps in Chromium by simulating device events and APIs. The document also discusses sample HTML5 apps created by Intel to demonstrate new web technologies and Intel's involvement in web standards.

12. Intel and Web Technologies
INTEL CORPORATION • SSG System Software Division

13. Why is Intel involved with Web technologies?
• We believe in the transformative power of open, horizontal
technologies.
• Web workloads are demanding – we like that!
• Whatever the programming paradigm, language or workload, our job
is to make sure it runs best on Intel Architecture.
• When to use HTML5/CSS/JS vs. Java vs. native – confusing to our
customers and developers.
• Intel has one of the largest developer outreach programs in the world.
• We measure, analyze, try it ourselves, then aim to be a trustworthy
advisor on the important technical issues faced by developers.

14. Recent Intel Work in Web Technologies
• W3C: Added multi-channel support and otherwise influenced the Web Audio
specification.
• WebKit: Feature and performance for Touch, Canvas, WebGL, Web Socket, Web
Worker, File API and other subsystems.
• Chrome/Chromium: Helped Google whitelist almost all Intel GPUs
• Android: Android on IA, Chrome-for-Android on IA, HW-accelerated Android
emulator for IA
• Apache Cordova / PhoneGap: Cordova implementations for Tizen, Windows 7
then Windows 8.
• Tizen: HTML5 application API for smartphones, TVs and automotive devices

15. Intel Likes PhoneGap (and the Apache Cordova project)
• Cordova (among other things) is a great way to try new APIs for web
apps.
• Contributing Tizen OS implementation of Cordova.
• Ramping work on Cordova for Windows 7, then Windows 8.
• Memo to Intel groups that want to expose platform features.
• “If you can expose it through PhoneGap, then please do.”
• Intel sponsoring PhoneGap Day on Friday here in Portland!
• Our Cordova work is centered in Montpellier, France – stop by and
say “Bonjour”!
