Google is actually beginning to implement HTML 5 in their projects like google wave. Also youtube actually has a html5 beta verison for users to test which is http://www.youtube.com/html5
So what features does HTML 5 have? Well we won't get into technical details as we are learning it our selves. Also we don't want to bore you. So here are 2 features...
The first feature is the video tag. Video tag allows you to play videos without adobe flash player. The advantage is that you don't need to install any plugins and uses less cpu power. Youtube's html 5 beta as we posted above is perfect example.
Second great feature is having a container with rounded corners without having to crop images and using css to place them. For developers that was a huge headache and usually roll our eyes when we hear the 2 words 'rounded corners'. Thank god for HTML5 making this feature easy to use.
There are other technologies that we developers can use to develop web applications which is Flex. Flex is based on flash player which you can create slick web apps but then again it's heavy on the browser. Also another good reason why developers would shy away from Flex is that it's not free. Especially apple not wanting to support flash on iPhones and iPads gives a good reason for a developer not to develop flash apps which makes HTML5 the best option. HTML 5 is free and runs on any platform.
But until then we are excited to start learning and maybe soon we can implement it our future projects. Of course we will blog about this topic again once we dig our hands into HTML 5.
Until then stay tuned!
