HTML5 introduces exciting new communication and performance features. New APIs such as WebSockets, Cross Document Messaging, XMLHttpRequest Level 2, Server-Sent Events, and Web Workers provide ways to optimize your web applications' performance and low-latency alternatives for real-time streaming and full-duplex communication. Until recently, the latter were available only in desktop applications.
HTML5 WebSocket, which defines a full-duplex communication channel that operates through a single socket over the Web, is not just another incremental enhancement to conventional HTTP communications. It represents a colossal advance, especially for real-time, event-driven web applications. HTML5 WebSockets provides such a dramatic improvement from the old, convoluted "hacks" that are used to simulate a full-duplex connection in a browser that it prompted Ian Hickson (Google)—the HTML5 specification lead—to say:
"Reducing kilobytes of data to 2 bytes...and reducing latency from 150ms to 50ms is far more than marginal. In fact, these two factors alone are enough to make WebSockets seriously interesting to Google."
In this highly practical, action-packed two-day course, you'll see hands-on how the different communication and performance APIs and HTML5 origin-based security model work. Most of these features are already supported in modern browsers, but the course will also explore ways to make them work in older browsers using polyfills and emulation. With these new standards, the browser can now enjoy the first-class citizenry of network communication that has long been enjoyed only by desktop applications. You will learn how to use the emerging standards to build scalable, mission critical real-time Web 2.0 applications such as:

Upon completion of this course, you will know how to create your own scalable, real-time Web applications with the latest HTML5 Performance, Communication, and WebSockets technologies and be able to:
This course is designed for software developers interested in designing, creating, and deploying real-time HTML5 web applications. It is valuable to both beginners and advanced developers that already have experience in developing web applications.
To get the most out of the course, you should be familiar with HTML and JavaScript. Prior exposure to any of these concepts will also be helpful:
The following is a detailed breakdown of all the course modules. Attendees will receive electronic copies of the presentations, lab files, and starter code.
Here's what some attendees thought about the HTML5 Fast Track course:
Loved it. I hope my competitors never hear about this training course.
—IBT - Internet Business Technologies
Peter was really knowledgeable in HTML5 - he was fantastic - took his time to answer questions and to help people. Very nice guy.
—BCLC
HTML 5 and WebSocket couldn't have a better teacher! Peter is the Best!
—IBT - Internet Business Technologies
Peter Lubbers is an excellent trainer and the course material is superb. I had some concerns about taking a training class for technology that is still evolving, however the training material and the instructors knowledge were extraordinarily current. I learned much more than I expected to and I have been given the tools to keep up with the HTML5 standard as it continues to evolve.
—Anvil Dataworks
I don't usually mark all "excellent" or give perfect scores but I thought this training was excellent across the board. The materials, labs and the instructor covered the topic very well and provided tools and samples to continue learning after the course. This was one of the best trainings in terms of understanding and retaining the information for a short course I've been to in quite some time.
—Intel Corporation
The HTML5 course was quite intense and provided the kind of challenge I was looking for over a conference. I liked having Peter there to help through problems—he even solved some problems with my code after the session was over! He was quite humble and helpful, despite clearly being one of few people who have a grasp of some of the highly technical knowledge required to understand this technology on both a broad and deep level.
—Franklin University
Both the course and Peter were great.
—Media Arts Lab
Extremely savvy instructor. Definitely gave the impression that he is a leader in the field.
—Media Arts Lab
Peter was very professional, a very easy-going and accessible person. I'm amazed by the quality of his teaching.
—IBT - Internet Business Technologies
I learned to harness a great deal of the new technology that HTML5 has to offer. Very cool and informative! Peter Lubbers did an excellent job separating the hype behind HTML5 from practical application we can implement this week. I thoroughly enjoyed learning how we can move forward into HTML5 while implementing fallback into everything we do for the older browsers.
—Bechtel National, Inc.
Peter did a great job. He demonstrated a great understanding and currency of knowledge on the topics presented.
