HTML5 is the latest version of HTML that introduces new features like video, audio, and geolocation. It is still being developed with the goal of improving multimedia support while keeping HTML easily readable. HTML5 adds capabilities that allow more functionality within browsers rather than requiring external plugins. It also allows for mobile web apps as an alternative to native apps. While HTML5 adoption is growing, a debate continues around how it compares to native apps and other technologies like Flash.
2. HTML5 is the latest version of HTML (defined as an
application of Standard Generalized Markup
Language) and XHTML (XML markup languages that
mirror extended versions of HTML; an application of
XML)
5th version of HyperText Markup Language
Not based on SGML (Standard Generalized Markup
Language), but must be backwards compatible
Introduces new APIs, specific scripting that can be
used with JavaScript (drag and drop, x-doc
messaging)
HTML5 is still in development, wont be finished for a
few years (2014 recommendation for HTML5.0)
The core goal is to improve the language with support
for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily
readable by humans , computers and devices
Adds new features: video, audio, canvas, SVG session
storage, localStorage, geolocation
Net result: more happens within the browser and
locally on computers or devices, net: enables
everything to happen more quickly, consistently, and
efficiently
Most mean HTML, CSS and JavaScript
3. HTML4 recommended by W3C
(Web Consortium) in 1997
Considered a rough guide on many
of the core features of HTML but
does not go far enough
HTML5 was started in 2004 by the
WHATWG (Web Hypertext
Application Technology Working
Group)
Defines a single language called HTML
that can be written in HTML syntax and
XML syntac
Defines detailed processing models to
foster interoperable implementations
Improves markup for documents
Introduces markup and APIs for emerging
idioms such as Web applications
4. Its not 1 big thing
Includes the Mobile Web
Native
Mobile Web
Hybrid
Apps
Instagram = native mobile app
LinkedIn & Facebook = hybrid
Tumblr = hybrid, mostly html5
Financial Times html5
Kindle Cloud reader
5. Infographic: HTML vs Flash
Gaming industry pro Flash; New
developers pro HTML5
Greater browser support for Flash
(99%), but HTML5 (50%)is growing
making consistent headway in
adoption rates (IOS/Android 8%)
Apple has embraced HTML5 as an
open source web technology for OS
and web-enabled devices
Ongoing
HTML and Hybrid are young and
evolving; mobile browsers are rapidly
improving
6. Distribution
Native apps are distributed via app stores,
controlled by the owners of the platforms
HTML5 distributed via the rules of the
open web, the link economy
Monetization
Native apps come with one-click purchase
options built into mobile platforms
HTML5 will be monetized via advertising
because payments will be less user-
friendly
Platform power and network
effects
Developers have to conform with Apples
rules
Developers can cut Apple out of the loop
with HTML5 reducing Apples platform
Functionality
Now, native apps do more than HTML5
apps
HTML5 apps will get better
7. Most popular types of apps will be
early adopters
HTML5 is useful for media apps and
access apps . Apps that display text,
images and video and monetize via ads
and subscriptions can be done more
cheaply and effectively via HTML5
Increasing prevalence of shell
apps (hyprid) will push things
along
HTML5 will improve, will be
cheaper to produce = disrupter
HTML5 comes from WC3 which
means the technology will evolve
slowly
