HTML5 is coming!
HTML5 is what user experience should have always been without plug-ins and the sometimes excruciating “loading…” times.
Imagine never having to be confronted with another “click here to download plugin” or “loading…and still loading…” message again. User experience utopia? Maybe not, but definitely user experience relief.
In the near future, using HTML5, we’ll be able to do all sorts of things that are hard or next to impossible to do with download-able plug-ins currently. HTML5 brings new flexibility of user experience, and promises of semantics, JavaScript APIs for drag and drop, offline storage, image generation, plugin-free video and that’s only to name a few.
It’s hard to find many examples of websites built in HTML5 today. To give you an idea of what’s possible, check out Mugtug.com’s sketchpad.
