In the last couple of years a deluge of new web technologies have appeared, allowing for the creation of ever richer and more immersive web applications. The FT is one of the pioneers in the use of newly minted HTML5 technologies to build web apps that are virtually indistinguishable from native apps. But using these technologies is far from easy. I'll cover some of the compelling reasons for choosing HTML5 and investing in the web platform, with a focus on offline technologies that enable web apps to run without a network connection. The examples will feature real-life code from our FT and the Economist applications, so you know that the techniques here are applicable to large, complex problems.

Today Jim talks to Luke Wroblewski about cross-device design and the ergonomics of software. In today's world if your mobile strategy consists of deciding between web or native and you are still building for three categories: mobile, tablet and desktop, then today's episode is a must listen.

From smartphones to tablets to everything in between, a wider variety of computing devices than ever before are being used to get online. These devices have different screen sizes and resolutions, input methods, and even different modes of use. Most organizations have responded to this new reality by creating separate experiences for new devices types: a separate mobile site, a separate tablet site, and so on. But today’s devices are blurring even these lines.

The good news is you don't need lots of different Web sites to provide a great experience across all these devices. In fact, you only need one Web site with a multi-device design. The bad news is it requires a different way of designing and developing for the Web. Find out why and how in this talk from author of Mobile First, Luke Wroblewski.

In today's podcast we take a deep dive into the topic of cross-screen design with Cameron Moll. What is mobile? What about context? Cross-screen design is about user experience, explore it with us.

Oh, the elusiveness of "One Web". And yet, increasingly users treat the web as one experience — add a product to your cart from your phone during the morning commute, and finish the transaction in the afternoon at work from your desktop computer.

This presentation will examine what's required to present a consistent, delightful experience to users regardless of where the experience begins, continues, and ends. You'll learn to avoid development mistakes committed by even the most seasoned among us, and you'll see plenty of examples from teams big and small doing it right.

Divya and Jim discuss web tools for the open web, some of the tools that the Adobe Web Platform team has created, and some of the open source projects like HTML5 Please and HTML5 Boilerplate. We end with a brief talk of SVG and some of the SVG tools that Divya's team is working on.

Paul and Jim discuss Google's transition from WebKit to Blink and then discuss why the mobile web is in trouble as well as what we can do to fix it.

This week Jim talks to Josh Clark where we discuss designing for devices that don't have a rectangular slab of glass for touch interaction, un-social devices, and Internet connected refrigerators and so much more.

This week Jim talks to Matthew Snyder and Timo Pietila, of Responsive Ads, to discuss the issues and complexity of responsive ads today.

This week Jim talks to Nick Williams, the developer behind Enquire.js, about Enquire.js, .NET programming, server side UA detection and mobile performance.
