Mobile first: Drupal and HTML5

Speaker(s):

Mobile is the most rapidly growing platform category for accessing and using the web. Whether with Responsive Design or dedicated mobile versions, websites and web apps need to not just consider the mobile experience but start with the mobile experience in terms of design and implementation.

HTML5 is a means to bring that experience to life. And yet with Drupal this isn't always so easy.

This presentation focuses on the challenges and techniques for implementation of HTML5 on Drupal 7 sites, plus discussion of initiatives to implement support of HTML5 in Drupal 8. Examples will be drawn from the Mobile theme that is undergoing active development to support HTML5, as well as HTML Base and HTML Tools.

A basic understanding of Drupal theming is assumed.
