Tips and tricks

• Develop with localhost
• Use the mailing lists
• Always test on IE ;-)
• Use Google Chrome for mobile development (mobile=true)
• You need the source code ? Just ask !

• All stations http://www.bav.admin.ch/dokumentation/publikationen/00475/01497/index.html?lang=fr
• Hiking trails

• Road network

• Historical routes

• Traffic counting stations (see tooltips)

Why HTML5 ?

• Not proprietary
• No browser dependence
• Advanced functions within browser
• Standardardized API: Geolocation – Canvas –
Appcache - etc..

HTML5 test: http://html5test.com/

http://www.html5rocks.com/

Perspective ?

• 3D: WebGL
• 4D: Historical data view
• Offline

..and it works!
