Great (56 minute) talk on HTML5. If you’re a web designer, web developer that wants an overview of what HTML5 is and what you can do with it, you should watch this.

thanx for putting in this video which gave me an overview about HTML5. But do you really believe it will overshadow Flash ? I dont use Adobe or better said Macromedia(rip) apps, so I do in Xtivity my flash presentations. greats from Poland
Personally, Flash isn’t going anywhere any time soon. There’s still a need and there’s still a market. But on the flip side, Apple is pushing very hard with HTM5 technologies on all their devices which is a huge market as well, so over time, developers will begin to do more with HTML5 for the simple reason of being able to reach the iPod, iPad market share.
Yeah, but the problem is – As long as ALL major browsers won’t support the new CSS and HTML5 there’s no use of these tools. There can be an “uber virtual reality”, “Matrix in your browser” if you will, but as long as IE won’t support these new things, and I’m not even talking about the old things that seems to me IE will never support, there is no big point of taking a huge time with html5. Of course it’ll be essential in time but who knows when it’ll be. Now clients are running back and forth – They hear what Jobs says, they believe him immediately, with no wonder, they ask US, the devs to make the things with methods that Mr. Steve suggested and at the end of the day they see the results, that HTML5 is not, well…ready at the moment and we have to redo everything again! Flash is whole different environment…well, I mean Flash is Flash and html (either 5 or 10) will be always whole different tool.
Pardon my english.
Aivars, you’re right. I agree with you. But I’ve been burned by this in the past for sleeping on new technologies simply because it’s not widely accepted by browsers. I tend to stay away from these technologies when designing for clients (small businesses) but I do tend to miss the boat sometimes by not keeping up to date with these technologies when certain industries (with advanced users) take off with it. And as a web professional, the last thing you want to do is to not be up on the latest technologies when the opportunity arises. So for technologies like HTML5, CSS3, JQuery, etc. These technologies are a must for us to keep up with even though we may not use them on a daily basis. It will only make our resume that much more attractive to both clients as well as potential employers. Case in point, I’m working for Yahoo now who has a HUGE audience. Learning these types of technologies and staying up to date with these tools is a must to stay on the cutting edge of things. So that when there is a market that needs this type of technology, we’re ready to advance on it and move quickly. Thanks so much for the discussion. Your english is excellent. ;)
HTML 5 for sure will become more important in the future, as more and more people will be using mobile devices like i-pads that don’t support flash. I agree that keeping up to date with these new technologies is important, so that we can implement them quickly should the occasion arise.
However, at this moment I see html 5 as a prototype car that is not yet taken into production. I don’t necessarily see a commercial use for it simply because browsers don’t support it and we don’t know yet how this “battle” between flash and html 5 (Adobe vs Apple) is going to end…
Maybe they will continue to co-exist and future browsers will be supporting both?
Do you think that would be possible?
Myself I’m just starting out in web design so have to learn the basic html and CSS stuff first…..before even thinking of exotic technologies ;-)
Btw; you have a great site and your videos are very good.
I don’t think Flash will ever go…just look at the recent tablets that have been unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the majority supporting Windows 7 or Android who both support Flash Player!!…if anything Apple will alienate themselves by refusing to adopt Flash as more and more tablets come onto the market. Take sites like the BBC iPlayer here in the UK to catch up on TV…you need Flash player..iPAD is no good for this, the list goes on. Watch out Mr Jobs, you’re reluctance could back fire once the other tablets filter through.
Thanks for sharing Mike.
HTML5 does some cool stuff, it’s too bad the browsers vary so much in what they support.
I wish there was one video standard that they would all agree on and support – like mp4.
I think the date shown as 275760-09-13 in the video is the date IE actually supports everything. ;o)
