But first, let’s take a look at what HTML 5 is.
What is HTML 5?
HTML 5 is a type of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) that is used to create mobile apps, mobile websites, applications, and other creations. It is often combined with Java script and other languages that complement the HTML 5 language. HTML was the first language that was developed (after Basic) that allowed the act of web design to take place and to communicate by way of the world wide web.
HTML 5 is not too different from HTML and it uses HTML as the basic underlying language. But HTML 5 combines with other programming languages when needed to define certain elements of the website or mobile application. It is a vehicle that lets you create and design your website in the way that you prefer and also allows you to capture it in an app for your mobile customers. Mobile customers are growing in large numbers, and you need to make sure that you have your site optimized for mobile platforms and multiple mobile devices to keep up.
HTML 5 is also a multimedia-friendly and mobile-friendly platform that puts no limits on your creativity regarding web design or mobile app development. Many developers like to write in this language due to its versatility in the programming environment that allows you to create whatever you want.
