I'm Matt Papakipos.
I run the HTML 5 Open Web platform efforts
for Chrome at Google.
I'll be teaching a session at Google I/O
about the Open Web platform in Chrome.
This is the set of APIs that Web developers can use
to implement applications that do cool stuff.
Our aspiration is to make it
so that anything you can build as a desktop application,
you can build as a Web application, right?
We want Web apps that are as cool and as capable
as anything you can build on your computer.
So the sets of things that we're working on
to make that happen are video APIs,
2-D and 3-D graphics APIs,
native code execution systems, um...
systems for doing background JavaScript threads,
systems for doing offline applications
that store on the local disk and sync back to a server.
These are apps that are starting to look
like traditional native applications,
have all the same capabilities
and the same performance and reliability characteristics,
but they run in your browser,
and they have all the cool properties of Web apps.
You can use them on whatever computer you're on.
You don't have to install them.
You have extra security guarantees.
This is why we're trying to bring the power of the Web
to the applications you use every day.
In the session, we'll talk about what the APIs are,
what the road map is
for when we're releasing all of this in Chrome,
and where we're going in the future.
Hope to see you there.
