HTML5: New Era of Web Development

by IT Chimes Web Developer

Web development is of utmost importance as it is the process of building a website. Web development comprises designing, coding and maintenance. Often, many people consider domain registration and web hosting as a part of web development as well.

Since internet started to dominate the world culture, business habit, academic and many other things, it has become a trend and a necessity to own a website. The site is the basic minimum requirement to have an online presence. As online presence can also mean financial gains, it is not a choice to have a website.

Web development as a business existed for a long time now. But never was it so booming as it is today. There are web development companies all over the places and many youngsters are picking this up as their profession. The jobs are fetching fatter salaries everyday.

The technology is evolving as well. From the static webpages built in HTML, now we are having responsive websites, which can reshape itself intelligently depending on the devices which are fetching them, built using “fluid grid technology”.

Let us point out to a few new trends which HTML5 has brought forth, quickly.

HTML5: HTML4, the popular HTML, is still the standard of web programming but it is quickly getting replaced by the all new HTML5. HTML4 was introduced in 1999 which makes it a decade old technology and often unsuitable for modern needs. Developed by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) together, this attempts to bridge the gap between the web development needs and the technology available. While W3C is looking after the XHTML 2.0 side, WHATWG is taking care of web forms and applications based on HTML5. Although HTML5 isn’t an accepted standard yet, most modern and popular browsers are already supporting the newer elements and APIs.

HTML5 comes with some major improvements. Some of them are as follows

• HTML, CSS, DOM and JavaScript based new features
• improved image, video, audio handling
• Self dependent error handling
• Device independent setting enabling universal access
• Scripting is replaced using markups.
• Open development process allowing general public to see the coding.

 

These improvements are huge and when implemented fully, these are expected to change the way web development is done. As most of the companies are adopting and welcoming this new technology, we can surely hope for a better future which a cumulative effort can bring.

HTML5 is an emerging standard of web development which is getting quickly popular among web developers and users alike. The inbuilt features make it much more suitable to address the needs of present day computing which is not well handled by old HTML4
