Focus on Mobile Apps, Consistent UI Development, Gaming Draws Large, Enthusiastic Group to Santa Clara, California this Week

Norwalk, CT, March 27, 2012—TMC (News - Alert) and Crossfire Media announced today that their DevCon5 Conference kicked off in Santa Clara, California with an impressive lineup of attendees, representing New Zealand, Brazil, Colombia, Italy, Slovenia, Canada, Russia and 18 different United States, taking part in educational sessions and networking events.

With breakout sessions led by experts from Adobe, Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn (News - Alert), Joyent and Qualcomm, DevCon5 has quickly established its position as a “must attend” event for developers and designers looking to take advantage of business opportunities presented by the advent of HTML5.

DevCon5 – created for Web developers, software architects, graphic artists and business executives – helps developers, designers and engineers learn how they can use HTML5 to create engaging mobile applications and create consistent, positive Web user experiences across any device. The DevCon5 conference program encompasses a multi-track program covering important topics related to HTML5 adoption, including browser compatibility, user experience design and Web 3.0. 

“The prevailing theme from Day One of DevCon5 was the unanimous amazement on the face of attendees as they witnessed the animated Web pages they can build using HTML5,” said Carl Ford (News - Alert), event producer at Crossfire Media. “Even today’s most sophisticated game programs will feel the competition from sites, difficult to conceive of today, but amazingly possible using HTML5, CSS3 and java script.”

“The progression of HTML5 possibilities and capabilities has developed so rapidly that even the most sophisticated engineers and developers acknowledge to me that they need to visit conferences like DevCon5 frequently to stay ahead of the curve,” Ford added.

DevCon5 continues Thursday at the Network Meeting Center in Santa Clara, California. Visit www.devconfive.com for registration and details.

DevCon5 is supported by sponsors Blackberry, Kaazing, appMobi (News - Alert), Khronos Group, Ludei, Marakana and Qualcomm.

Media sponsors include HTML5 Report, Stack Overflow, Software Development Times, Linux Magazine, FierceDeveloper, Visibility, Joyent Cloud, OPSEOs, Codersky Magazine, Best Web Design Agencies, Ubergizmo and WebProfessionals.org.
