Alexis Goldstein first taught herself HTML while a high school student in the mid-1990s, and went on to get her degree in Computer Science from Columbia University. She runs her own software development and training company, aut faciam LLC. Before striking out on her own, Alexis spent seven years in technology on Wall Street, where she worked in both the cash equity and equity derivative spaces at three major firms, and learned to love daily code reviews. She is a teacher and co-organizer of Girl Develop It, a group that conducts low-cost programming classes for women, and a very proud member of the NYC Resistor hackerspace in Brooklyn, NY. You can find Alexis at her website, http://alexisgo.com/.
Louis Lazaris is a freelance web designer and front-end developer based in Toronto, Canada who has been involved in the web design industry since 2000. Louis has been working on websites ever since the days when table layouts and one-pixel GIFs dominated the industry. Over the past five years he has transitioned to embrace web standards while endeavoring to promote best practices that help both developers and their clients reach practical goals for their projects. Louis writes regularly for a number of top web design blogs including his own site, Impressive Webs (http://www.impressivewebs.com/.
Estelle Weyl is a front-end engineer from San Francisco who has been developing standards-based accessible websites since 1999. Estelle began playing with CSS3 when the iPhone was released in 2007, and after four years of web application development for mobile WebKit, she knows (almost) every CSS3 quirk on WebKit, and has vast experience implementing components of HTML5. She writes two popular technical blogs with tutorials and detailed grids of CSS3 and HTML5 browser support (http://www.standardista.com/). Estelles passion is teaching web development, where youll find her speaking on CSS3, HTML5, JavaScript, and mobile web development at conferences around the USA (and, she hopes, the world).
Russ Weakley has worked in the design field for over 18 years, primarily in web design and development, and web training. Russ co-chairs the Web Standards Group and is a founding committee member of the Web Industry Professionals Association of Australia (WIPA).

Heard of Sjoerd Visscher? Id venture to guess you havent, but what he considered a minor discovery is at the foundation of our ability to use HTML5 today.
Back in 2002, in The Hague, Netherlands, Mr. Visscher was attempting to improve the performance of his XSL output. He switched from createElement calls to setting the innerHTML property, and then realized that all the unknown, non-HTML elements were no longer able to be styled by CSS.
Fast forward to 2008, and HTML5 is gaining momentum. New elements have been specified, but in practice Internet Explorer versions 6-8 pose a problem, as they fail to recognize unknown elements; the new elements are unable to hold children and CSS has no effect on them. This depressing fact was posing quite a hindrance to HTML5 adoption.
Now, half a decade after his discovery, Sjoerd innocently mentions this trick in a comment on the blog of the W3C HTML Working Group co-chair, Sam Ruby: BTW, if you want CSS rules to apply to unknown elements in IE, you just have to do document.createElement(elementName). This somehow lets the CSS engine know that elements with that name exist.
Ian Hickson, lead editor of the HTML5 spec, was as surprised as the rest of the Web. Having never heard of this trick before, he was happy to report: This piece of information makes building an HTML5 compatibility shim for IE7 far easier than had previously been assumed.
A day later, John Resig wrote the post that coined the term HTML5 shiv. Heres a quick timeline of what followed:
January 2009: Remy Sharp creates the first distributable script for enabling HTML5 element use in IE.
June 2009: Faruk Ate includes the HTML5 shiv in Modernizrs initial release.
February 2010: A ragtag team of superstar JavaScript developers including Remy, Kangax, John-David Dalton, and PorneL collaborate and drop the file size of the script.
