24 April: opening a new session of @w3cx JavaScript Introduction #MOOC https://www.edx.org/course/javascript-introduction-2 @edXOnline @uca_education @micbuffa #javascript

Deadline for expressions of interest is today! "Expressions of interest should briefly explain the participant's interest in the workshop in a few sentences". See more on how to participate: https://www.w3.org/WoT/ws-2019/participation.html https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1111319577697402881

The spring edition of the #roadmap of #WebApps on mobile is out! It highlights new exploratory work of the @w3c @wicg_ group https://www.w3.org/2019/04/web-roadmaps/mobile/ #April2019 thanks to @tidoust @XueFuqiao @W3CChina @Beihang1952

For example, KV Storage, a simple async key-value #storage #API, which integrates with #IndexedDB, is proposed as a modern successor to localStorage to improve Web #performance
https://www.w3.org/2019/04/web-roadmaps/mobile/storage.html#kv-storage

Finally, the @csswg has started to work on the Resize Observer specification which describes an #API for observing changes to Element’s size. This helps solve the Element Queries problem in a responsive context
https://www.w3.org/2019/04/web-roadmaps/mobile/adaptation.html#resize-observer

Then, in order to strengthen #security, Trusted Types allows applications to lock down DOM-based XSS injection sinks (e.g. Element.innerHTML, or Location.href setters) to only accept non-spoofable, typed values in place of strings https://www.w3.org/2019/04/web-roadmaps/mobile/security.html#trusted-types

Check out for more #Web technologies developed in @w3c that increase the capabilities of #Webapps, how they apply more specifically to the mobile context and what are their current implementations: https://www.w3.org/Mobile/roadmap/

The Conversational Interfaces Community Group focuses more specifically on how to model a dialogue and its expected outcomes https://www.w3.org/community/conv/

The Voice Assistant Community Group is exploring the general space of standardization needs for voice-based assistants https://www.w3.org/community/voice-assistant/

The Voice Interaction Community Group follows up on the VoiceXML family of specifications standardized in W3C some years ago to watch and see what new standards might be relevant https://www.w3.org/community/voiceinteraction/

By "conversational interfaces", we mean a bunch of exploratory work happening around how to make the Web work better with voice-based interactions, including voice assistants. https://twitter.com/HandNF/status/1121172303818174464

There is also the accessibility angle of making Web pages more pronounceable being looked at in the Accessible Platform Architecture Working Group https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/1070710412050612225

This comes in complement to more settled work, such as the one enabled by the Speech Synthesis and Speech Recognition browser APIs developed in the Speech API Community Group https://www.w3.org/community/speech-api/

The Functional Knowledge Graph Community Group is looking at how to expose Web pages functions to AI assistants https://www.w3.org/community/fkg/
