A while back you might remember we reported on Apples support for the internet’s new rising star: HTML5. This ever developing technology coupled with CSS3 looks set to be part of a revolution in how websites are developed as more and more browsers seek to provide comprehensive support for the advanced platform. With Chrome in mind Google have been quietly working away to put their backing behind HTML5, with some pretty handy examples and a tutorial site.
Google couldn’t make their position much clearer with the site HTML5ROCKS providing a Chrome based resource for HTML5 development and a whole range of tutorials, presentations and even a code playground. While this site has been up and running since June, it is the brand new section that really sparks interest.
Samples Studio
The Samples Studio provides a range of cool and quirky applications and designs which can be effectively created using both HTML5 and CSS3 technology. These examples include picture-in-picture video, geolocation and map features, a video cube and even a page flip animation of real HTML content among several others.
Each of these examples offers a description of the technology used, as well as the ability to view the source and even download the sample code directly, meaning as long as your browser supports it, you can get started with some real HTML5 development straight away.
For a full insight into the features of the dedicated site, check out the Interactive Presentation to see how HTML5 can make some big changes to how we will look at web design in the near future.
It’s apparent that this major transition into HTML5 is going to take place sooner or later, and while it’s more than likely going to be later, browser providers are taking the opportunity to get on board and potentially boost their standings in the search market. With Internet Explorer historically slow to catch on, will its market dominance finally be broken when it’s too slow to get on board the HTML5 bandwagon. With Chrome and Safari already staking their claim, which browser looks set to lead the way in the future?
