*Everything you need to know, from the developer to the CEO.*[**REGISTER** (opens in new window)](http://bit.ly/VhH4ut)**When it is:** Feb 28th @ 2PM EST **What’s it about:** HTML5 is gaining more and more attention as the features and functionality improve, and as its adoption rate among companies employing it for their web and mobile presences continues to grow. This technology is affecting everything from how much easier it is to code for the developer to what decisions executives make when changing their website or deciding to go mobile. Most of all, HTML5 has dramatically improved user experiences to an extent even recently considered impossible, enabling full-featured web and mobile properties to work seamlessly across any platform under the “build once, deploy anywhere” mantra. To accelerate development developers have turned to HTML5 frameworks to accelerate and enable development & deployment. Many of these frameworks bundle additional and necessary components such as CSS3 styles and jQuery scripts for enhanced functionality for responsive layouts and multimedia. One of the hottest frameworks available today is SproutCore. It’s a developer’s dream, going beyond standard drop-in helper frameworks to bring desktop-calibur development to the web space. It provides cross-platform HTML5 widgets, a clean MVC architecture, tremendous scalability, blazing fast speeds and top notch theming – everything you expect in native development, now on the web. And it’s not just great for developers: businesses will get to deliver impressive desktop-calibur experiences while leverage the extant value of open-source. Oh yeah, and it doesn’t hurt that Apple Inc. uses it for its web application offerings, and is a major contributor to the code base. During this webinar we are going to cover several key SproutCore concepts, including: • SproutCore’s backstory and future direction • Why businesses should choose SproutCore • Why developers will love working with SproutCore • What SproutCore brings to the user experience • Features and functionalities, both in development & for the end user **Who should attend:** CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, COOs, CMOs. Executives, Vice-presidents, Directors and Managers of IT, Operations, Finance, HR and Marketing. Developers, developers and more developers. All those interested in HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, as well as open source. [**REGISTER** (opens in new window)](http://bit.ly/VhH4ut)
