I conducted a workshop on HTML5 at a IEEE Workshop at Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, Mumbai on February 24th, 2011. The workshop covered basics of HTML5 and hands on exercises that the participants can try out.
If you would like me to conduct a similar workshop or even a short meetup for your user group or organization, just let me know.
Here is the presentation from the HTML5 Workshop.
I had spoken at IndicThreads Mobile conference which was held in Pune on November 19-20, 2010. One of the talks I gave was Using Google App Engine to power your Mobile Applications. This was the second talk that I gave at the conference, the first one was on using HTML5 to write Mobile Web applications.
This presentation covered Google App Engine via a simple example along with an Android Native Application and a generic HTML5 based Mobile Web Application that were both powered by the Service in the Cloud.

Mobile applications are generally classified into Native and Web applications. The dominant type of applications are the Native applications whereas the Web based applications on mobile have generally not garnered too much press. Two prominent reasons being that one does not have access to the full range of APIs in a web based mobile application and you cannot sell a mobile web application in the Marketplaces.
However, parts of HTML5 are implemented quite well on most Smartphones today. The underlying magic behind that is the Webkit engine that has been adopted by the vendors. In this presentation, I give an overview of HTML5 APIs that are ready for usage on Smartphones today and they present a compelling and cross platform alternative to several kinds of applications.
Last week, I conducted a webinar on behalf of my company on Mobile Porting & Testing. The topic was pertaining to the proliferation of Smart Phone OS’ like iPhone, Android, Blackberry, etc. and how it is increasingly becoming a challenge to port your application to all these platforms.
In the webinar I discuss strategies/tools/techniques that my company Xoriant has used successfully in client engagements.
Hope you find it useful. I look forward to any comments on the same.
