Before writing anything about HTML5, I would like to aware you with challenges of web? When we talk about the responsive and attractive website designs, then JavaScript and Flash comes in mind. Yes, it is thoroughly true that flash and JS is the best tool to develop the stunning web applications, but the performance of the website quite slow down and heavy to load at browsers by using these tools. Website loading time that directly impact on the user experiences which cannot be ignore. This was the big challenge for the web world. To overcome this issue HTML5 came into the existence.

I am really glad to share my own experience over the new web development markup language that is HTML5. In previous few years HTML version4 is being running successfully, but as all we know the change is the natural process that only pushes us to do innovations.  In the same way world much known organizations (W3C, WHATWG) decided to develop the new version of HTML, that should be more responsive, faster, secure, interactive and reliable solution provider tool.

They started working over existing HTML version4 and added many new features and attributes such as media tags and content oriented tags; they found this technology can really suit these elements and they launched new version of HTML that is HTML5.  This version of HTML5 enables to developer to develop the stunning and attractive web applications.

HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript are three main pillars, to develop the creative and innovative web applications. HTML’s previous versions are also good to use but few drawbacks are there such as, it enables desktop specific applications, browser dependency and no option to download files. These are some points that keep during the new version of HTML5.

Client side data base persistence is one big disadvantage of previous versions of HTML. If cookies be deleted from the computer memory, it was permanent loss of information. But now using HTML5, we can persistence our information into structural way, actually it is not the permanent storage but we can store information as temporarily. If we refresh the page, web page would run perfectly no matter whether we connected online or not.

Web developers can develop the consistent applications, elegant forms, and attractive websites that can catch the audiences easily. HTML5 enable and support to other outdoor tools that help to develop the more accessible applications. Geo location support system makes HTML5 more robust, unique and secures markup language. These features enable and provide flexibility to develop the geographical and location based browser compatible applications.

Key points in HTML5:

  • Multimedia & Graphical Support
  • Offline & Storage
  • Easy To Use
  • More Secure Applications
  • Lower Cost & Easy Implementation
  • Real Time Communication
  • Better Pitfall Handling
  • Drag and Drop Facility
  • Minify the need for outdoor plugins (like Flash)
Interesting New Features in HTML5:

  • Multimedia & Graphical Elements-<canvas> <video> <audio>
  • Content specific Elements- <Article>, <Footer>, <Header>, <Nav>, <Section>
  • Form Controls Attributes- Calendar, Date, Time, Email, URL, Search

 

Illustration Using HTML5:

<Html>

<Body>

<video width="100" height="100" controls autoplay>  <source src="star.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>

<Audio controls>  <source src="song.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></audio>

<canvas id="YrCanvas" width="100" height="100">My Canvas</canvas>

<polygon points="100,10 40,180 190,60 10,60 160,180"  style="fill:lime;stroke:purple;stroke-width:5;fill-ule:evenodd;"></svg>

Birthday (date and time) : <input type="datetime" name="Mybdaytime">

<Article> <h1>My Article</h1>  <p>Great collection of words! </p>   </Article>

</Body>

</Html>

It is very ambient field to know more about technologies and languages. I think it is not the accomplished information as I shared with you people but in near future, it will become the online development tool alone. Some assumptions are also underlay that it will not be finished before 2023, just keep learning and use HTML5.
