Dmitry Buzdin presented on the evolution of the web over the past 5 years. He discussed how JavaScript has become more important and led to performance wars between browsers in 2008-2009. Browsers now compete through introducing new HTML5 features in their versions released every few months. Buzdin highlighted some new HTML5 features like LocalStorage, IndexedDB, Web Sockets, SVG, and Canvas, and argued this moves the web to a new architecture with more dynamic pages and capabilities beyond just HTTP. He concluded by encouraging learning HTML5 as programming is becoming more mainstream and building applications is simpler than ever on the new HTML5 platform.
