HTML5 - Whats all the fuss?

hey there Classers

We're taking a slightly different angle this month and looking at HTML5 and why its important that you learn about it right now!

Today’s designers evelopers must create content that is compatible with more types of web browsers than ever before. Besides the many different browsers for the PC and Apple, other platforms without mice or keyboards, such as tablets and smart phones, add more user interface requirements to web sites.

To keep the web sites portable and to keep their skills current, developers must embrace the new features of HTML5 and CSS3. It’s also their job to ensure their pages gracefully fall back to stock content when a user’s browser doesn’t support all the new features. Thankfully, HTML5 is quickly being adopted by the newer platforms and their many user agents (web browsers).

This free seminar will introduce and demonstrate the effectiveness of HTML5 and CSS3 by highlighting the new HTML5 concepts, elements, and attributes. It covers the current state of HTML5 and CSS3 support by today’s browsers. It also demonstrates today’s most popular JavaScript libraries (polyfills) that can add normally unsupported HTML5 and CSS3 features for older browsers. Specific topics covered include new HTML5 tags, form elements, input elements and validation as well as best practices for audio and video support.
