HTML5 in a Plasma Active World

With the explosion of mobile application development, there is a increasing demand for a common run-time environment across the many mobile platforms. The WAC (Wholesale Applications Community) along with the latest W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) specification HTML5 (HTML version 5) is a step in that direction. Using recent advances in widget/web application development tools and techniques such as Qt Quick and JavaScript. Using Plasma Active as a development environment we can show how to build and verify widget WAC compliancy using the online compliancy verification. This is done using the current version of Plasma-Active running on MeeGo and the upcoming Tizen platforms. Proving Tizen and MeeGo are good platforms as a basis to create WAC compliant HTML5 based web applications. Software architects, managers and original device manufactures (ODM) interested in developing HTML5 apps on existing Linux platforms. A presentation showing examples and findings using Qt Quick/Plasma Quick with JavaScript bindings to create HTML5 web applications. Comparing WAC 2.0 specification and online compliancy verification test-cases against test applications created to better understand the WAC compliancy and Qt Quick/Plasma Quick / JavaScript applications.
