HTML 5 – The way forward

I’m sure all of you in the design and development industry have heard the term HTML 5 by now (If you haven’t, maybe you shouldn’t be working in this industry?).

More and more websites and browsers are beginning to embrace HTML 5 and in addition to this, so are the newer mobile browsers. The iPhone and iPad does not support flash however they do support HTML 5 videos.

Although HTML 5 is still some time away, it’s best to jump onto the wagon now and prepare for when HTML 5 does come with full force!

There are plenty of resources online and you’ll be spoilt for choice!

W3C Validation Important?

Is the W3C HTML Validation Important any important these days? Many ask this question and they have the right to! Why? Well just have a look at some of the most popular websites out there such as Google and do a W3C validation check. You’ll be suprised to find that it does not validate!!

Well the service is still important but I wouldn’t place too much importance on it. If your site doesn’t have any of the very major errors, then you’re alright if your site works in all the major browsers.

Then again, if you want to spend that bit of extra time to validate your site, then go ahed!!

Is HTML 5 something you should worry about at this moment in time?

Many people out there have spent years mastering HTML and web development and now with the introduction to HTML 5 and its near release, people are worried they may have wasted all their time.

Well, let me tell you, it’s nothing to worry about at this moment. It will take a few years until lots of sites use HTML and in that time, skill and experience will be built naturally without even knowing it!
