We recently had an email from somebody asking us why were launching an HTML5 course when it’s not even supported properly in all the browsers. It’s an interesting question which I thought was worth answering here as well.

For what must be 12 months now we have been getting requests for HTML5 courses, and have been pushing back on the grounds that “the technology isn’t ready yet”. Having said that we now feel that if you are building internal apps where you can dictate the browser, or are using specific features which do have good support, then there is no reason why you can’t start getting to grips with HTML5.

 

If you are using products such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, DreamWeaver, PHP or Blender then there are a number of new groups now available on LinkedIn which you might want to join.

For those who haven’t heard of LinkedIn before it is a business networking site with over 70 million members of all levels, and can be a great place to network, find new opportunities and learn from the community (plus it’s free).

The groups which have just gone live are listed below:

 

Again, a new standard, HTML5, being worked on, but not finalised yet. And again, some browsers are starting to use some of the new HTML5 commands.

I have not tried them yet (but I plan to), but here is a short list of browsers/links to help you get started…
