bryce12 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Have you started using HTML 5 on your websites? I have been aware of HTML 5 tags and features since months but haven't really used them in my coding. I guess old habits die hard and it will take some time before I use HTML 5 on my webpages. What about you? Have you started using HTML 5 and how is your experience with it? Bryce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nathan Posted February 26, 2012 Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2012 I haven't even looked at it yet. Is the code that much different from HTML? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryce12 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 There are plenty of new tags in HTML, I'm not sure about changes in the old tags though. Here is a list of new HTML 5 tags from the W3Schools site http://www.w3schools.com/html5/html5_new_elements.asp Looking at these elements, I think it requires a completely new approach to coding in HTML. Don't you think so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creaky Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 There are a lot of new tags to use in HTML5, think it will be quite a while before it's used everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilKid Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I haven't used HTML 5 yet as well. I am still a newbie when it comes to web related stuff. I have just learnt CSS and all that and I think it will take me a while before I get used to HTML 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete T Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I was looking over html5 the other day not used it yet but plan on using it in future plus you have css3 around on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilKid Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I was looking over html5 the other day not used it yet but plan on using it in future plus you have css3 around on top. Yes, CSS3 is quite new as well. I think for web designers and website owners it will take a while to get used to them as it is still new and it won't come into use that quickly.

Talk Tech News Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I have not started to use HTML 5 yet, but will as soon as possible. There are some tags specifically for media as the original standard in 1999 could never have predicted the amount and way that media is used now. It will be a while thought before it is adopted on a large scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
render Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 HTML 5 will be the main web standard for years to come. It is a work in progress and undoubtlly will reflect new web technologies as they widespread. Mobile computing idevelopers has already embraced HTML 5 as one of their main development tools.

bloggeroo Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have seen several demos about the features found in HTML5 especially the animation. I'd like the chance to use them in my website one of these days, but right now, I'm still neck deep in PHP code so it will have to wait a few months.

Brandon Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have tried it a little bit but I rarely do front-end so I don't know that much yet. I think HTML5, JQuery and CSS3 are gonna be game changers for sure though. They will kill off flash and flex in a few years. The stuff that people are doing already with this technology is just amazing. I'm really excited for the future of the web with this stack!

Shole Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Not yet but I ma planing to . I think HTML5 is great and many people say its even better then flash but I didn't test it yet so I can't say for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGizmo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I haven't really looked at HTML5 yet but it's on my to-do list for sure. I'm hoping to bring future websites up using it that's for sure. It may take me awhile to learn all the new elements and such though as my time for reading stuff and learning new languages now is pretty limited but I will do my best to learn at least a little bit of HTML5 before the end of the year.

CDNeely Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I shifted over to HTML5 as soon as I could. If nothing else the simplicity of declaring the version made me jump. However, I have been a fan of the Semantic Web idea since about 2002 when W3C first started talking about it and HTML5 is well targeted towards the Semantic Web. Many of the new tags are specifically designed for working with the Semantic Web and I love it. The only thing I don't like about the shift is the deprecation of tables and switching to CSS for table formatting. I need tables a lot for my personal work and I don't think that list does anywhere what tables can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Definitely going to be the future of the web, without a doubt. I haven't began the process of switching over yet but it's near the top on my priority list purely because I've seen what's possible with it and I'm amazed. I can't wait to free up some spare time to start researching more and learning and playing with the code. I have no doubt that in two years it'll be the commonly used language of internet programming and it will stay that way for many years much as the current generation of programmers have grown to love HTML.

devilishomar Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I have started using some aspects of HTML 5 on my website. They're really useful and fun to use! It's just made life so much easier with all the new features it's brought. Plus, it's made my JavaScript life a lot easier with the introduction of HTML 5 canvas's.All in all, I think we should all use the new features HTML 5 has brought to us. After all, it's all for the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
