HTML5, Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Filed Under General
If you are all caught up in your readings on the newest digital technologies you’ve probably heard about HTML5. But even so, I’ve been asked the question many times: what is it?
Simply, HTML5 is an updated form of the primary language used on the internet. In fact, almost every website on the planet uses HTML. So why the upgrade to version 5?
The big goal behind HTML5 is to bring some standardization into the industry so that your website will look the same on any computer & mobile device. HTML5 integrates some neat tools like the “canvas” object, which replaces much of what Adobe Flash does. To see an example of it in action take a look at this Asteroids game.
But as a person browsing the web, will you notice a difference? Probably not, at least not at first, even experienced programmers won’t notice a difference until they look at the actual structure of a website. What you may notice is quicker loading videos on YouTube, which now has much of its coding HTML5 compliant. Buying something from iTunes? Apple.com is in HTML5. Have you personalized your background image on Google? that’s all built in HTML5 as well.
HTML5 is quickly becoming the standard language for website development, the old languages version of HTML won’t be thrown out any time soon…but when you are looking for device compliance and the latest technology make sure you ask your web developer about HTML5.
BTW..the image up top is not HTML5 compliant.
