coming in next few years.
So if you are a Web developer, it is time for you to start
looking into HTML 5.
So what makes HTML 5 so important today?
You must be wondering why HTML 5 is so important today. So, let's take a step back and think about
what technologies have been driving the Web in the past few years. If you look
back, you will find all social networking websites are loaded with flashy and
dynamic features starting from YouTube to Google+ and Facebook, MySpace,
Netflix and Twitter in between. It's all about displaying photos, streaming
videos, watching movies, and doing more dynamic stuff on the web.
This is where products like Adobe Flash, Microsoft
Silverlight and JQuery became popular and the reason was very obvious. HTML
did not have support for these features. This is where HTML 5 steps in. So,
what is new in HTML 5?
HTML 5 is now loaded with embedded video and audio support,
provides better graphics rendering, client-side data storage, interactive
documents and even now we can run multiple threads on client-side.
So, why do I think HTML 5 is going to be big?
Every Web technology company including Microsoft, Google,
Apple and IBM is geared toward supporting HTML 5. Every new version of the
browser now will support HTML 5 from Internet Explorer 9 to Firefox and Chrome.
Microsoft's
IE
9 supports HTML 5. Microsoft's
Silverlight was the move to support Flash-like client-side applications for
Microsoft developers.
HTML 5 is definitely impacting both Silverlight and Flash. If
I am a Web developer and could do everything in HTML 5, for me, it does not
make sense to use Flash or Silverlight.
