Forgive a naive question. When posts like this (or actual job listings) say "HTML5", is what they're really saying "sites which use a lot of front end js and feel more app like"? I'm assuming there's not that much of a demand for people who can shorten a doctype, leave off closing tags in tables, re-encode audio files to ogg, wav and mp3 and who know how to make pretty canvas based demos...
- spydum 15y agoA million times this. I work in the enterprise space, and I see people asking for HTML5 for all sorts of things, even though none of the details they spew out require use of HTML5. They can all be sufficiently done in HTML4, without concern for backwards compatibility. I think people just list HTML5 because they assume it will be some big thing. They have no idea what it actually encompasses.
- tomjen3 15y agoI am not so sure about the canvas thing. Basically everywhere you currently see flash being used, you need HTML5 (and canvas) so that it will work for people with an iPad.
