HTML5 is an emerging web standard that has received a great deal of

- Add interactivity and media to your sites using the Canvas and Audio
and Video APIs.

storage options using web storage, and work with local files using the
File API.
- Use the Communication API and Web Sockets for easier communication
between server and client.
Other topics include multithreading with Web Workers, understanding the
new input types, using Geolocation, and enhancing your web forms and
views with CSS3. All major browsers already support HTML5 to varying
degrees and are aggressively working to provide full-fledged
standardized support. Start using HTML5 in your projects today, and

features that HTML5 has to offer.
