Beg, Borrow or Steal: The art of Flashing without Flashing

HTML5 is awesome. Well, it will be awesome when it's finally ready. Probably.

The bad news is that by the time the W3C have finished monkeying with HTML5, I'll probably have given up on the web as a whole and taken up meat goat farming.

The good news (for you, me and the goats) is that there's no need to wait for a lot of the functionality that HTML5 promises; we can start using them right now. In this session I'm going to show you how you can steal these features from the Flash Player and use them in your standards-based sites or applications, without even a sniff of Flash on the page.

Bio

Prone to flashing, standards advocate, (schizophrenic), tool builder, architect, loves purple (but not in that way). Bald.
