AUSTIN CONVENTION CENTER: LEVEL 1 12:30 PM Ballroom BC 5:00 PM HTML5 & the Mobile Browser Wars Designing for User Generated Chaos Ballroom BC HTML5: We've heard all about it, sort of seen it, but where does it fit in the mobile browser landscape? Which browser supports HTML5 the best, where do HTML5 apps come in? This panel, moderated by CNET's Seth Rosenblatt, will feature executives from Opera, Mozilla and Dolphin Browser. We���ll have own own little ���browser war��� on stage, as the panelists prove why their browser will best the rest. David Dehghan, Doug Schepers, Jay Sullivan, Mike Taylor Panel | Intermediate | Design + Development | #browserwar Chaos is inevitable in any badly designed system. With an increasing number of sites building on real world communities and UGC, the importance of good layout design and quality control cannot be overlooked. The focus of this panel is to explore and highlight some of the pitfalls and solutions that are encountered when developing a site/app which contains user generated contributions.

We can re-examine the legacy nature of the elements (menus, buttons, toolbars) we interact with in a digital space and ask: are they still necessary? At Leap Motion, we're providing the platform and tools for developers to start answering those questions. David Holz Featured Session | Advanced | Design + Development | #leapmotion Al Gore will be signing books for the first 750 people to purchase his book from the SXSW Bookstore.

Hang out for a quick dive into the life of Jim Henson, with a view into his work from the perspective of how it pertains to what it is we���re doing today, that promises to even leave Waldorf and Statler happy. And yes, there will be muppets.

Brad Frost Solo | Intermediate | Design + Development | #adaptive 3:30 PM Exhibit Hall 5 Al Gore on The Future From the former vice president and #1 New York Times bestselling author comes ���An Inconvient Truth��� for everything���a frank and clear-eyed assessment of the emerging forces that are reshaping our world and will continue to do so in the decades to come.

Successful innovations can seem counter-intuitive at first. So, if logic often fails, how do you create valuable brands, products and services? Like brands, stand-up comedians have to deliver innovative thinking. What lessons can we learn from the deliberately counter-intuitive comedy industry? Join Paul Valerio (Method) and Baratunde Thurston (Cultivated Wit) for a Q&A on comedy and innovation. Baratunde Thurston, Paul Valerio Dual | Advanced | Design + Development | #sofunny 9:30 AM Ballroom BC A new addition to the 2013 lineup, SXSW Home Rooms are where you get the most current information about all the presentations, panels, and networking opportunities for the day ahead.

Meet Up | Beginner | Social + Relationships | #homeroom 11:00 AM Ballroom A The Best Interface Is No Interface Many believe the future is in screens. They're wrong. It's time to kill the interface. Because when we think only in screens, we design based upon a model that is inherently unnatural. Let's explore a better path: No UI. A design methodology that aims to produce a radically simple technological future without digital interfaces. Golden Krishna Solo | Intermediate | Design + Development | #noui 11:00 AM Ballroom BC Maintaining Responsive Integrity in WordPress Mastering RWD is difficult enough, doing it with a WordPress theme and no knowledge its intended use or future content is even harder. In this talk you���ll learn how to maintain responsive integrity over time. Jesse Friedman will give specific examples of how he used these techniques to create dynamic web environments, while taking advantage of the users device and landscape all in WordPress.
