HTML5 is transforming the Web into a vastly richer application platform. HTML5 promises to create web-based applications that exploit the full capability of the web: use the browser as a cross-platform client, support powerful search and indexing, deploy sites and updates instantly, and pull in third-party content, services, and mashups. Today's HTML5 web apps include rich user interfaces, offline storage and accessibility, and much improved hardware access security. Moreover, because HTML5 apps are browser-based, they allow you to bypass app-store approval, speeding development time and giving you more control over your end product.
Because of the hype and excitement surrounding HTML5, there still remains some general confusion about what it is. When people speak of HTML5’s features, they are usually referring to a collection of technologies that work together, primarily HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3. Just as Cascading Style Sheets in HTML4 saved web developers countless hours of repetitive coding, the combined features of these technologies make formerly tedious workarounds quite easy to do.
One of the biggest changes in HTML5 is that you can pull images, audio, and video directly into a document using first-order elements—the audio and video elements—which are then easily controlled by your JavaScript code. This not only simplifies coding and streamlines structure, but also frees you from the limitations of a reliance on plug-ins such as Flash and Silverlight. Canvas is another exciting addition that allows you to create 2D drawings that your users can interact with. The HTML5 specification is still a work in progress, but broad browser support for its features mean that you can use HTML5 now to create sophisticated and stable apps that run across a variety of platforms.
