TeleNav, the GPS software company, has unveiled a browser-based HTML5 app that will deliver voice-enabled, turn-by-turn GPS navigation on almost any mobile device—and that other sites can call up with a single line of code.
The concept behind the app is similar to that of Amazon Kindle Cloud Reader: You input the URL and then run TeleNav from within a browser, without installing a native app first. An added benefit: TeleNav can continuously update the service over time whenever it wants, without inconveniencing consumers with periodic software updates.

In short: Yes.
In more length: The term “HTML5″ is widely used as a buzzword to refer to modern Web technologies, many of which (though by no means all) are developed at the WHATWG, in some cases in conjunction with the W3C and IETF.
The WHATWG work is all published in one specification (known as “Web Applications 1.0″), parts of which are republished in a variety of other forms, including an edition optimized for Web developers (known as HTML5), and one which focuses mainly on the core HTML language (which you are reading right now). In addition, two subparts of the specification are republished as separate documents, for ease of reference: WebVTT and WebRTC. Continue reading ‘Is this HTML5?’ »

1. It’s not one big thing

You may well ask: “How can I start using HTML5 if older browsers don’t support it?” But the question itself is misleading. HTML5 is not one big thing; it is a collection of individual features. So you can’t detect “HTML5 support,” because that doesn’t make any sense. But you can detect support for individual features, like canvas, video, or geolocation.

What follows provides a basic overview of how we arrived where we are today, why HTML5 and CSS3 are so important to modern websites and web apps, and how using these technologies will be invaluable to your future as a web professional.
What is HTML5?
What we understand today as HTML5 has had a relatively turbulent history. You probably already know that HTML is the predominant markup language used to describe content, or data, on the World Wide Web. HTML5 is the latest iteration of that markup language, and includes new features, improvements to existing features, and scripting-based APIs.
That said, HTML5 is not a reformulation of previous versions of the language — it includes all valid elements from both HTML4 and XHTML 1.0. Furthermore, it’s been designed with some primary principles in mind to ensure it works on just about every platform, is compatible with older browsers, and handles errors gracefully. A summary of the design principles that guided the creation of HTML5 can be found on the W3C’s HTML Design Principles page. Continue reading ‘Introducing HTML5 and CSS3’ »
