What is HTML5?

Please Join us on Twitter

For those who’s brain is wired for design any change in the language used to code sites is  bound to be a headache, or at least perceived as one. After all, for most designers it took a great deal of time and effort and the occasional fist-pounding-on-the-desk, to learn the coding method they currently use. So learning a new language is, well, another headache they would rather forgo. Luckily learning the next version of any coding language is not mandatory for success, so understanding how a new language can help is essential before spending the time and effort of actually learning this new coding language.

Recent months have seen a lot of talk of the pending arrival of HTML5, for many designers this is a sign of trouble ahead, as they will need to yet again learn more coding. But is it worth is? It is worth learning  HTML5?

For those of us who have been hearing  of the new pending migration to HTML 5, we offer this quick round up of resources on the new version of HTML:
