Presentation Description: 
This presentation (based on one given at the Centre for the Development of Open Technology @ Seneca College) gives a high-level view of how Mozilla's Webmaker.org initiative uses web technology, and provides a glimpse at what their accomplishments mean for the web as a whole. It focuses on the web as a shared platform, outlining the increasing parity between modern web browsers across devices, and how HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript can be leveraged to build full applications with a minimal technological requirement of the user - namely, a modern browser.
