HTML5 Application Caching

HTML5 has a number of great things about it that HTML4 did not; in this article, we’re going to talk about one specifically, principally how much better it is at dealing with offline caching than its predecessor. In HTML4, you had no alternative to offline caching except for manually downloading whatever it is you wanted off the website you were browsing; this was clumsy and inefficient, especially since the website can change daily or even hourly, rendering your offline copy useless until you manually downloaded it all over again.

HTML5 Intro: Use It Today!

Ever since Apple announced that they would not be supporting Flash in favor of the multimedia features of HTML5, there has been a lot of media attention on HTML5. Unfortunately, along with the media coverage there has been a tremendous amount of myth and misrepresentation regarding the level of browser support for HTML5. I’ve even heard some designers say that HTML5 won’t be ready until 2012 and that we should all sit tight and wait for it! The truth is that many of the elements of HTML5 are available for use today and browser support is pretty… View full post »
