What are some advantages of html5 that were not in html4

by HSG on Jul 21, 2012 in Articles from Software Fans

When asked for my pearls of wisdom on this topic, I was tempted to respond with the excuse: "Sorry, can't comment. My asbestos underwear is out for dry-cleaning."

It seems both the emotions and mis-information surrounding HTML 5 run high.

Teaching You Tools to Become Empowered
To build a successful business and career, you must always keep up with changes in the IT Marketplace. AWS, Office 365, LinkedIn, Sales Force, SEO, Social Media are just a few examples of where knowledge is a huge factor for success.
Training with HSG addresses your knowledge gaps and provides you with the requisite tools to outpace the competition.

And some information is just plain scary. Consider this direct quote from the W3C.

"The following elements are not in HTML5 because using them damages usability and accessibility:

frame
frameset
noframes"

http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html5-diff-20120329/

And other attributes are now considered obsolete.

Some layout calls are now gone and moved over to CSS.

Then there is the can of worms regarding APIs. Some have been depreciated, others changed or extended. As well there is a boatload of new APIs.

In short, if you are not embracing lifelong learning the best suggestion I have is exit the business and open a taco stand somewhere.

Some may argue that HTML 5 is still a work in progress and can be ignored until then. That would be a fatal mistake. As Bob Dylan sang: "The Times They Are a Changing".

Even Microsoft is changing its tune. It's old mantra about standards went: "Embrace, Extend, Control." The old Microsoft appears to be quite dead.

The new Microsoft appears to be saying goodbye to its Adobe Flash competitor, Silverlight, in favor of HTML 5.

Have you looked at how compatible Internet Explorer V10 is for HTML 5?

For me, the toughest thing I am having to relearn is no longer calling it Internet Exploder.

The ability to handle documents in HTML 5 is exceeded only by my delight to be able to embed video without a player. I'm experimenting now with having embedded video resize auto magically for mobile device viewing.

Even Adobe appears to be getting the clue that it's battery eating, crash prone Flash offering is going to start looking like a Windows operating system based on DOS.

My advice to you is either embrace the changes or open a taco stand somewhere.

consulting services we do what we know ... write software

Design and Development
Application lifecycle management
We generate use cases, UML documentation, architect the system, create an object model, iteratively develop the system, unit and system test and modularize where necessary. These types of engagements are typically longterm and, almost always, incorporate a variety of software technologies.
If you are in need of expertise but only require the assistance of one or two engineers, the Hartmann Software Group can be of help. Instead of procuring talent by way of a placement agency who is likely to contact us, come to the Hartmann Software Group directly. You may realize some savings.
Mentor
The best way to learn is by doing.

The coaching program integrates our course instruction with hands on software development practices. By employing XP (Extreme Programming) techniques, we teach students as follows:

Configure and integrate the needed development tools

MOntitor each students progress and offer feedback, perspective and alternatives when needed.

Establish an Action plan to yield a set of deliverables in order to guarantee productive learning.

Establish an Commit to a deliverable time line.

Hold each student accountable to a standard that is comparable to that of an engineer/project manager with at least one year's experience in the field.

These coaching cycles typically last 2-4 weeks in duration.

Provide Expertise
Services for your business growth.
With the introduction of smart devices, e-marketplaces, electronic forms, SEO practices, big data, virtual office environments, media streaming and so much more, there is hardly a business whose livelihood is not, in some way, dependent upon the inclusion of such software functionality into its online presence, work environment and product offerings. Such inclusion often presents a complex array of challenges that are far beyond the expertise of the business as it demands an understanding of technological options, modular decomposition, backend systems integration and web services. Most importantly, the business requires IT talent and expertise; this is where the Hartmann Software Group shines. To that end, here is an overview of some of the services that we offer:
