This long weekend in Canada is the opening of the season of monthly long weekends in Canada, with a timely, alarming and gruesome special on CBC radio this morning about bear attacks.
So, what better day than today to spend a lazy day inside and expand your skills learning HTML5 and CSS3! Web developers and mobile developers increasingly need to know about these two technologies, and with smartphones growing into tablets and PCs adopting tablet features there's more reason for all developers to at least be familiar with the concepts.
We have a number of HTML5 and CSS3 articles to get you started but we would love more. Next week we'll be launching a HTML5 / CSS3 competition, open to all, but I figured an early warning always helps, so dig in to the articles and docs, get creative, and write up what you know and what you can do. Our Virtual Tech Summit on HTML5/CSS3 is this Wednesday so don't miss out if you're after ideas.
Let's help each other get a grip on HTML5 and CSS3. Bear free.
cheers,
Chris Maunder
