Last November Adobe decided to stop development on Flash Player for the mobile browser; and now even more mobile devs have been thinking about HTML5.
To ease the transition, Ted Patrick, head of Sencha developer relations, held a weighty 72-minute webinar earlier this week. The video is now available online (embedded below), and treats both desktop and mobile development using Sencha Touch (for mobile) and Ext.js (for desktop).
Lots of low-level coding detail as well as general introduction to the frameworks from the point of view of a Flex developer.

HTML5 is the most dramatic step in the evolution of web standards. It incorporates features such as geolocation, video playback and drag-and-drop. HTML5 allows developers to create rich internet applications without the need for third party APIs and browser plug-ins. Under the banner of HTML5, modern web standards such as CSS3, SVG, XHR2, WebSockets, IndexedDB, and AppCache are pushing the boundaries for what a browser can achieve using web standards. This Microzone is supported by Microsoft, and it will delve into the intricacies of using these new web technologies and teach you how to make your websites compatible with all of the modern browsers.
