HTML5

Information Technology > Web page creation and editing

Description

HTML5 is the latest version of Hypertext Markup Language, the code that describes web pages. It's a core technology used in building websites and web applications. HTML5 introduces new elements and attributes that reflect typical usage on modern websites. It has better support for multimedia, such as native audio and video elements, and it's designed to be usable whether you're coding a website or a web application, an e-book, a mobile app, or a document. Advanced features include form controls, APIs for drawing graphics on-the-fly, storing data offline, dragging-and-dropping, geolocation, and communicating with servers in real-time. Understanding HTML5 is crucial for anyone involved in web design or development.
