Lighting Talks: The Softer Side of HTML5
summary
Emphasis lands on concrete takeaways: run YSlow and PageSpeed and explain what the reports change; know HTML CSS and JavaScript well enough to teach the cascade, box model and variable scope; prove DOM skills with pure JavaScript ≠ jQuery examples; show enterprise habits—configurable reusable code, tests and a GitHub project; accessibility gives pragmatic wins (transcripts, curb cuts) and notes 20% of people have some sensory limitation; curriculum recommendations map to measurable skills employers ask about.
