KICK START HTML5


HTML (hyper text mark-up language) used to create web pages; we knew that, for creating user interface/UI for web pages HTML has most important part.

Mark-up languages are not running the programming commands instead it is used to create document structure for the web page; Mark-up languages (HTML, XML) are different from programming languages (C, C++, JAVA).

HISTORY of HTML

In 1989 html was proposed by Tim Berners-Lee, he was worked in European organization for nuclear reach, CERN. He is the father of World Wide Web.

IETF, W3C has important part for introducing HTML and now WHATWG (web hypertext application technology working group) organizing HTML5 development.

WHATWG group was created by opera, Mozilla and apple companies.

Before HTML5 web standards are organized by W3C group they proposed XHTML 2.0, but both web browser developing companies and developers are not supported this fully, so now they are looking in HTML5.



Most of the browsers are now supporting HTML5 like Google chrome, Mozilla, Firefox, apple safari, opera, IE9.


HTML5 is very much successful because of its simplicity, for example a video can be attached with a webpage in single line of code, which is <video> tag.

Web sites home page mostly uses adobe flash, to design the home page, but now flash is replaced by HTML5.

Some time back Apple co-founder Steve Jobs said that I phone and I pad will not support flash and he also added that HTML5 is the future.


Even flash owners adobe accepted that, now you can imagine the success of HTML5.

Dream viewer CS5.5 is used create web sites and it is another software from adobe which is also supports HTML5.

Even most popular sites face book, twitter, Google web pages are created using HTML5.

We can find whether the webpage created using HTML5 or not by viewing page source, we can see that first line will be exactly like “<!DOCTYPE html>”.


Another important reason for the success of HTML5 is mobile internet, for creating mobile web pages HTML5 is better way.

www.facebook.com is a computer version.

http://m.facebook.com/ is a mobile version.

Not only for mobile WebPages, HTML5 also used to create mobile applications.

Product                                                 Programming language   

I phone                                                   Objective C

android                                                   Java

Windows mobile                                     C#.NET

Above all products supports HTML 5, JavaScript and CSS, now company's also very much interested in creating mobile application using HTML 5.

So, my fellow developers learn HTML5 and rock the web.
