Experimenting with HTML5 and the ArcGIS API for JavaScript

We had a wonderful time getting to know many of you this
week at the Esri
Developer Summit in Palm Springs, and especially enjoyed seeing the cool
applications you’re building with the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Thank you also
for the plentiful feedback on the API.

During our JavaScript technical sessions, we showed several
applications that take advantage of HTML5 functionality like local storage,
native drag and drop, file access, offline storage and more. These
samples are still in an experimental stage and may not work on all browsers,
but we wanted to share them with you so you can start planning and prototyping
interesting applications that combine HTML5, CSS3 and the ArcGIS API for
JavaScript.

To view the samples, visit the ArcGIS API for JavaScript Resource
Center Samples
Overview page and expand the Experimental folder. To determine the level of support in various browsers, visit caniuse.com,
a web site with compatibility tables for HTML5 and CSS3 support.

For those of you who missed the conference, the
technical sessions were recorded and the videos will be available in a few
weeks on proceedings.esri.com.
We look forward to seeing you in Palm Springs at next year’s Developer Summit.
