• Web Sockets
• Web Workers
• Local Files

This video is brought to you by Marakana TechTV. If you are looking for more HTML5 training, Marakana offers some really great hands on sessions for your organization:

In this presentation to the San Francisco HTML5 User Group, Peter Lubbers takes an in-depth look at the different APIs that make up HTML5 communication, as well as some related standards. Topics covered include:

Check out this video of a real world implementation of a RhoElements application. It was developed and showcased by one of our partners, Stella Nova, at the Motorola Solutions NRF booth this past week in New York. This application is a great example of how RhoElements can be used to deliver a well integrated solution.

I get a lot of questions about how the licensing model for RhoElements works.

It has been a busy few weeks since my post supporting a few regional developer events as well as promoting this community (which by the way, I am proud to say we are very close to hitting the 1000 user mark). One of the areas I have been spending time on is getting familiar with the Rhodes platform.

I am blogging to you from our AppForum in Barcelona Spain, where we have been getting some really great feedback on RhoElements. There is a lot of interest in HTML5 and the ability to harness the power of the device capabilities all from within HTML and Javascript. There seems to be a lot of traditional .Net coders that are just beginning or exploring options to develop using HTML.

Before we get into saving the scan data, let's first load the breakout session data into a drop down so the user can select the presentation that they will be scanning attendees for.

Let's open up the index.html file and replace our placeholder inside the selector div section with a
code block:

So far we have a basic HTML file (our app) that has placeholders for content and simple javascript functions for enabling the scanner and handling the decode event. In this part of the series, we will discuss WebSQL storage and incorporate that into our application. Before we start modifying our HTML, let's discuss how the database will be laid out.

We will be creating just one table with the following fields:

So most of us probably still live very much in an email world. You may love facebook, twitter, etc to communicate with your friends and family, but from a business point of view email is still king. So here are some tips for getting the most out of Launchpad right from within your email client. Of course we would love you to log into Launchpad everyday, but you can still do quite a bit without even having to open up a browser.
