W3Cx and Intel open HTML5 Introduction MOOC course

W3C is pleased to launch today a new course: HTML5 Introduction.
Taught by Intel and W3C experts, this course presents the basic
building blocks of Web design and style, using basics of HTML5 and
a few CSS features. We encourage future Web developers to enroll
soon to learn how to build Web sites that look great. This
introductory 6-week course nicely completes the “Learn HTML5 from

WebCrypto Key Discovery Note Published
29 March 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5330>
The Web Cryptography Working Group has published a Group Note of
"WebCrypto Key Discovery." This note describes a JavaScript API
for discovering named, origin-specific pre-provisioned
cryptographic keys for use with the Web Cryptography API.
Pre-provisioned keys are keys which have been made available to
the UA by means other than the generation, derivation, importation
and unwrapping functions of the Web Cryptography API.
Origin-specific keys are keys that are available only to a
specified origin. Named keys are identified by a name assumed to
be known to the origin in question and provisioned with the key
itself. This note concerns only keys which have all three of these
properties.

Call for Review: Battery Status API Proposed Recommendation Published
29 March 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5328>
The Device APIs Working Group has published a Proposed
Recommendation of "Battery Status API." The Battery Status API
specification defines a means for web developers to
programmatically determine the battery status of the hosting
device. Without knowing the battery status of a device, a web
developer must design the web application with an assumption of
sufficient battery level for the task at hand. This means the
battery of a device may exhaust faster than desired because web
developers are unable to make decisions based on the battery
status. This specification defines an API that provides
information about the battery status of the hosting device.
Comments are welcome through 29 April.
