To kickoff our tutorial, let’s give a view about HTML5.

It’s not scary as you think, HTML5 is the next version of HTML. While using HTML5, it is no different to your current HTML programming.

Learning HTML5 is not a big deal. Its the next increment for HTML.

Offers of HTML5 that’s different from HTML or lower versions:

  1. Elements that are not being used are being deprecated in HTML are removed. For example:
    1. <acronym> – defines acronym.
    2. <applet> – defines applet.
    3. <center> – centers the text.
    4. <s> – defines strikethrough text.
    5. <tt> – defines teletype text.
    6. <u> – underlined text.

and so forth.

2. New Semantic Elements like <header>, <footer>, <article> and <section>.

3. Video tag and audio tag or called multimedia elements that would be used for browser’s built in functionality to render video and audio controls.

4. You can not rely on flash or plug-ins.

5. New Graphic Elements like <svg> and <canvass>.

So, basically what you will learn here is to build your HTML5 website and we will go over to these new elements mentioned above, what exactly are their means, when to use it and what are the benefits.

Also, you will learn how to use video and audio tags and what cool stuff you can do with that. We will also use the basics of <canvass> graphic element.

Stay tuned for the next tutorial! We will be tackling about “Starting your very first HTML5 Website or Webpage”.
