It was a great overview of HTML5. Informative enough to help you get going with HTML5.
Paul Keister
The speaker was very professional and gave a good overview of HTML5
Aleksandar Gargenta Co-Organizer
Great talk! Peter definitely knows his stuff. I just wish we had more time to dig deeper into some aspects of HTML5.
Dan Doyon
This is second time I have seen Peter, I thought he did better job this time. There is obviously quite a bit to cover and it seems each section could be one or more meetups. He seems to have very broad exposure to most of the key elements. I've decided not to pursue learning Silverlight based on what he's presented. HTML5/CSS3 seems to be the hot combo. It will be quite interesting to see what novel ideas come out. I feel like this is the next internet "gold rush".
Mark Rogers
It was a very informative event.
Michael Latulippe
Really impressive talk from Peter Lubbers, definitely a great overview and great location for the meetup. Thanks for the pizza and soda as well, very cool. I am more confident now that HTML 5 will be widely adopted soon, and to start implementing it on my sites.

Peter seems to have a great understanding of HTML5. I say seems because I knew nothing about it coming in
Ric
It was a GREAT evening. Good presentation. 2 points for improvement- better/louder mic system, and when you are going to display code in an editor please beforehand increase the font size so that it is actually readable to those more than 3 rows back.
Phil Wee
very informative presentation
Jeremiah Lee
Peter's presentation, though long, was filled with great information that I hadn't heard elsewhere.
Walter Scott Martin
That was great. Please keep me informed of any break out groups. Specifically Canvas and other Tags.

We've been overwhelmed by the incredible interest in the new San Francisco HTML5 User Group! There have been some great meeting topic suggestions, but we thought it would be best to start with an introduction. In this first HTML5 user group meeting, HTML5 trainer Peter Lubbers--co-organizer of the SF HTML5 User Group and co-author of the book Pro HTML5 Programming--will give you a high-level overview of HTML5. Topics include:

What is HTML5?
History of HTML5
WHATWG and W3C specifications
What is part of HTML5?
Using HTML5 Today
Using HTML5 in browsers that do not support it
Detecting native availability of HTML5 features
Demos
Q&A
