Chrome and HTML5 in Paris
Thursday, March 24, 2011 | 7:00 AM
Continuing on from our recent trips, Michael Mahemoff recently visited Paris to talk about HTML5 and the Chrome Web Store.
Paris GTUG organised a Chrome Web Store evening at ECE on March 15. Michael gave an overview on HTML5 and later covered the Chrome Web Store.
Google marketing manager's Elsa Salgado announced a new competition for Web Store apps in France.
Kicking off the open mic session, Jeremy Selier and Romain Huet presented Jolicloud, an app on the Chrome Web Store and an web-based operating system.
MFG Labs presented Cinemur, a slick interface for exploring movies, which makes use of CSS3 and local storage for caching.
Rafael Brugier presented GWT Generator, a web app that lets you draw UML and generate GWT code.
Finally, Jonathan Verrecchia explained his Initializr tool. Based on HTML5 Boilerplate, the tool created by Google's Paul Irish, Initializr lets you choose a few options and makes a custom template to get your HTML5 project started.
Special thanks to GTUG organisers, especially Cyprien Decouty, for organising the event.
Michael also visited Paris-based seed accelerator Le Camping, earlier in the day, where he gave a presentation and met with several Paris startups.
