Great Indian Developer Summit 2011

I registered for the developer summit at 9a.m on 20th of april, everything started on time. Nice to see everything (sessions/breaks/meeting) absolutely going on time.
Add caption

The first talk was on user experiences on the user visual, sound and think is taken care of by Arijit Chaterjee.Things like attention, focus, beauty and trust are major parts things to put in mind while creating the website. Jazzy is never in, keep that in mind. His major concern was peep into the mind of the user. If you wanna sell a colorful website to a enterprise company. They wont go ahead with the purchase thinking this is just not what we see in out daily life.

Small chat on  Building trust on website which actually explains why is trust such an important entity to come back to the website. Few ailments where the popularity about the website can come down due to data-centers crash and mainly if the site is even hacked once.

In go in depth I was more interested in the HTML5 session overall.When all browsers are HTML5 compatible then why not our websites, this was my basis of interest in today's blog

Scott Davis.... OMG I have been reading his book Groovy recipes, really nice to see the person in here.He gave a talk on the HTML5  owns a company called ThristyHead.com. It was majorly a talk on HTML5 than hands on.Doctype from HTML5 wont have version types and all the browsers are forward compatible.He kept his base on the statement "Semantics Over Markup"
continued with this was Mr. Venkat Subramainyam which is more of the hands on project about HTML5 can be viewed in the below given link.
Next session was by Harish Vaidyantath on the beauty of the websites using HTML5. There was a basic talk on how IE9 is far better than google chrome in CPU performance, which is given above.Standards of html5 are being update at html5labs

FACTS about HTML5: This is a small brief of incite on HTML5 I got from the summit, wait for my future post on HTML5... :)
1)This brings new elements like email , canvas ans many more.
2)If it doesnt understand the input type then it comes as default text.
3)Custom qwerty key can be created by input texts given.
4)Cache Manifest: to work offline , Resource: To work online and Fallback: both offline and online
5)Semantics app is for browser information and local storage is storage of the data.
6)New video support is amazing but support by browsers with one codec will take time.
7) It is 2D but there are 3D applications that can be made so.
8) This is a standard of HTMl5 which needs to be followed by all the browsers

There was an illusionist show at the GIDS 2011 and it was 1 hour of amazing illusion happening.

End of the day attended 2 sessions from Scott Davis and Tim. Scott Davis gave a lecture on micro-formats which actually says usage of semantics help you improvise search by SEO(Search Engine Optimization). Napster gave free music but iTunes gave the same song for 99 cents giving metadata of the song. To date iTunes is a great hit.Meta-data always gain points. A List Part is the best site that should be used was pointed by him. Social Graph should be used for testing SEO. Tim gave a tutorial on Gaelyk and app built on this , amazing for a small business.

Major disappointment was playbook was not available at the blackberry counter. I expected at least the same advertisement shown in the you toube they ll b showcase more than that. It was absolute 30 min waste of time.It could much interesting session by Andrew.

Of all in my favorite speaker of the day is Scott Davis
