Here’s the conclusion that all the web gurus seem to have drawn over the past months: HTML5 is the future, and that future is slowly creeping into our midst. This article by Dave Shea is the latest proof of that. Then there are inspiration galleries and blogs dedicated to the use of HTML5 for markup, [...]
Although we’re now in this transitional stage of shedding off old browsers and web technologies that have been stumbling blocks to creating innovative new websites, there’s still confusion and fear that needs to be quelled. (Some people just can’t get excited that easily.) Jeremy Keith’s article, Misunderstanding markup, seems like the ideal anchor at this [...]
