HTML5 and CSS3 are The Future

For the past several years, all we (folks in the Web industry) heard about was "Web 2.0" and how it will change everything. When "professionals" are queried as to what Web 2.0 is, the answers are typically vague and flat-out wrong.

Web 2.0 is the movement away from static Web pages by implementing dynamic applications which facilitate interactive information sharing. Good news, by definition Web 2.0 is already here!

Some misguided developers claim HTML5 is to advanced, and too far into the future. A tough argument considering Apple's Safari, Mozilla's Firefox, and Google's Chrome fully embrace HTML5. In fact, the only laggards in HTML5 standards is Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Opera Software's Opera. Both Google and Apple lead the pack (Firefox trails closely) with the most advanced Web browsers validating to the latest Web standards including HTML5 and CSS3. It is a shame Microsoft is slow to catch up, especially considering their substantial market share. This Web site has been constructed with the latest Web technologies: HTML5, CSS3, jQuery Tools. In fact, if you were to visit our Home Page with Internet Explorer vs. Google Chrome, you will see what Internet Explorer's limitations are.

What is HTML5 and why is it so great? In a nutshell, HTML5 is interactive with the latest JavaScript technologies. HTML5 doesn't rely on Adobe's unreliable Flash Player® to playback video, animate menus and slide-shows. HTML5 eliminates the use of unnecessary tags, attributes and inline styles. The basic principals of HTML5: 1) Separate markup, styles, and scripting 2) Eliminate redundant code and tags 3) Make your Web site as Interactive as you wish without using Flash or Silverlight.
