What is HTML5?
We're sure by now you've heard the term "HTML5" thrown around by the likes of Apple and Google. This is the next evolution of HTML, or Hyper Text Markup Language, which forms the backbone of almost every site on the Internet. HTML4, the last major iteration of the language, debuted in 1997 and has been subsequently poked and prodded so that it can handle the demands of the modern Web.
The HTML5 language has specific rules that allow placement and format of text, graphics, video and audio on a Web page. Programmers use these programming tags or elements to produce web pages in unique and creative ways.

In the programming world, it can be difficult to figure out what new techologies to adopt and which ones you should wait on and see how they do. Fortunately with HTML5 the guess work is taken out. HTML5 is being backed by both Apple and Google, two of the largest, most influential companies in the IT industry. If they say it is important and are backing their development with this technology, it means there will be a big adoption wave - which is really important in emerging technologies. 

HTML5 features in the limelight
The HTML project working group has released several feature specs till now. Some of key ones are
1.      Video elements: Designers can now build web pages without having to resort to third-party proprietary plug-in software like Flash. YouTube is experimenting with using HTML 5 to display video. Built in video controls makes the feature more attractive and easy to use.
2.      Application cache: On the lines of Outlook but minus the email client requirement, you can now store web apps much like emails locally. Google has already made use of this feature replacing its Google Gears mail client with HTML 5. Google Wave also usesHTML 5
3.      Canvas for Images: The canvas element that comes with HTML 5 lets you manipulate graphics and photos enabling easy rendering of images. Designers no longer need to use intermediate technologies like jQuery. This will help save development time and effort.
4.      Geolocation: The HTML5 Geolocation feature enables location identification using various geo location technologies GPS (Global Positioning system), IP address, RFID (Radio frequency ID), Wi-Fi , Bluetooth MAC address and GSM/CDMA cell IDs. The system is bound by privacy regulations and needs to be authorized by individuals before it can be utilized.
5.      Web workers: This feature enables a web application to execute complex tasks independently without interfering with the performance of a webpage in real-time.

The Benefits of HTML5

  • It makes the web faster: developers are able to use HTML5 to reduce file sizes and guarantee a cleaner user experience.
  • HTML5 has “Canvas”: a powerful tool for creating graphic content. With Canvas, it becomes easier to create animations, drawings and other complex visuals without using external apps.
  • More and more internet browsers are supporting HTML5. Want to check how compatible is your browser with HTML5? Go to this site and find out. If not, better update your browser version!
  • One of the hypes surrounding HTML5 is its video capabilities. Developers can integrate video with HTML5 without having to use any plugins. As more and more browsers are becoming compatible HTML5, the percentage of HTML5 videos available online is rapidly increasing.
  • Same goes for sound. HTML5 comes with a powerful support tool for audio elements.
  • HTML5 is available on a multitude of platforms and performs great on PC’s, mobile phones and tablets.

What the future holds?
Most of the top browsers are including the new HTML5 specs in their development plans. Firefox, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer (IE8) have shown receptivity to most of the changes though the process is expected to take time.
