Recently, many of my friends have been asking me for an explanation of HTML5, mainly what it is/does. To be honest it came as quite a surprise to me how many people were in the dark, so I thought I’d throw up a quick post, nothing in depth – just enough so that you can show off to your Gran!
In case you don’t already know HTML is a language used for the foundation for a web page, governing class and in the old days positioning of content. Currently still in development – apart from the standard incremental updates – HTML5′s main aim is to try and reduce the need for media-based plug-ins such as Flash or Silverlight by building their functionality in to the language.
