...should I use HTML5 today?

"there is already a lot of excitement for HTML5,but it’s a little too early to deploy it becausewe’re running into interoperability issues." Philippe Le Hegaret, W3C interaction domain leader blogs.techrepublic.com.com/hiner/?p=6369

NATIVE HTML5

HTML5…without the hype?

A brief history of HTML5 1999 HTML 4.01 2000 XHTML 1.0

2004 W3C focus on XHTML 2.0 …the future is XML-based! http://www.flickr.com/photos/craiga/17071467/

WHATWGWeb Hypertext Application Technology Working Group

2007 W3C HTML5 WG

HTML5 does not replace HTML 4.01 / XHTML 1.0

HTML5 has more bling!

“...extending the language to better supportWeb applications [...] This puts HTML indirect competition with othertechnologies[...] , in particular Flash andSilverlight.”Ian Hickson, Editor of HTML5http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Jan/0215.html

HTML4.01 primarily defined markup elements

HTML5 supercedesHTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0and DOM Level 2 HTML

HTML5 adds/redefines markup elements

HTML5 aimed at browser devs detailed algorithms for processing/error correction

1. syntax/semantics2. forms3. multimedia

the dirty secret of the doctype

HTML5<!DOCTYPE html>

<!doctype html><title>Minimal HTML5</title>

new elements for more accurate semantics

unambiguous and machine readable

current and old browsers “support” these(although some need a little extra help)header, footer, … { display: block; }

Internet Explorer < 9 needs extra training wheelsdocument.createElement(header);document.createElement(footer);…http://html5doctor.com/how-to-get-html5-working-in-ie-and-firefox-2

improved form elementsbecause the web is more interactive

jqueryui.com

rich form elements without JavaScript<input type="date"><input type="time"><input type="month"><input type="week"><input type="datetime" … ><input type="range"><input type="number"><input type="color"><input type="file" multiple><input … placeholder="…"><input … autofocus><input … autocomplete>

built-in validation without JavaScript<input … required><input type="tel"><input type="email"><input type="url"><input … pattern="[a-z]{3}[0-9]{3}"><input type="number" min="1" max="10" step="2">…

<video>

Adobe Flash currently most common video delivery mechanism

<video src="video.webm" controls autoplay loop preload="none" poster="poster.jpg" width="320" height="240"> <a href="video.webm">Download movie</a></video>

video as native object● behaves like any other HTML element● keyboard accessibility out-of-the-box

people.opera.com/patrickl/experiments/video/hover+transition

powerful (simple) API

icant.co.uk/easy-youtube

controlling <video> with JavaScriptvar v = document.getElementById(player);v.play();v.pause();v.volume = … ;v.currentTime = … ;…

events fired by <video>var v = document.getElementById(player);v.addEventListener(loadeddata, function() { … }, true)v.addEventListener(play, function() { … }, true)v.addEventListener(pause, function() { … }, true)v.addEventListener(timeupdate, function() { … }, true)v.addEventListener(ended, function() { … }, true)…

HTML5 means all yourold dHTML is cool again!

video formats the big debate?

HTML5 does not specify video container/codec (same as with images in HTML 4.01)

MP4/H.264 orOgg Theora orWebM/VP8

MP4 / H.264ubiquitous, patent encumbered, licensing/royalties

Ogg Theora free and open, no licensing feesnot many tools for it, not web optimised

WebM / VP8 open and royalty-free, web-optimisedsupport by hardware and software vendors

providing multiple sources<video controls autoplay poster="…" width="…" height="…"> <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> <source src="movie.webm" type="video/webm" /> <source src="movie.ogv" type="video/ogg" /> </video>

www.mirovideoconverter.com

flash fallback for older browsers http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody

<audio>

audio...exactly the same as video<audio src=”music.mp3” controls autoplay … ></audio><audio controls autoplay> <source src="music.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" /> <source src="music.oga" type="audio/ogg" /> </audio>formats: MP3 vs Ogg Vorbis (vs WAV)

canvas = “scriptable images”<canvas width="…" height="…"></canvas>

canvas has standard API methods for drawingctx = canvas.getContext("2d");ctx.fillRect(x, y, width, height);ctx.beginPath();ctx.moveTo(x, y);ctx.lineTo(x, y);ctx.bezierCurveTo(x1, y1, x2, y2, c1, c2);www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext

people.opera.com/patrickl/experiments/canvas/particle/3

mariuswatz.com/works/abstract01js

canvas drawing ready-made imagesctx = canvas.getContext("2d");var logo = new Image();logo.src = logo.png;ctx.drawImage(logo,x1,y1,w1,h1,x2,y2,w2,h2);or call in an existing image already on the page

www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/archives/paranoid_0.3

canvas access to image data arrayctx = canvas.getContext("2d");canvasData = ctx.getImageData(x,y,w,h);[R,G,B,A,R,G,B,A,R,G,B,A,R,G,B,A, … ]

www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/archives/canvas-ambilight

github.com/mezzoblue/PaintbrushJS

canvas also works with videoctx = canvas.getContext("2d");v = document.getElementById(player);ctx.drawImage(v,x1,y1,w1,h2,x2,y2,w2,h2);grab currently displayed frame (update as appropriate)

canvas accessibility?

video, audio and canvas on any device without plugins (Java / Flash / Silverlight not ubiquitous)

1. syntax/semantics2. forms3. multimedia4. … and more

HTML5 (and friends) haslots more APIs for developers (for powerful client-side apps)

geolocationnavigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error);navigator.geolocation.watchCurrentPosition(success, error);function success(position) { /* wheres Wally? */ var lat = position.coords.latitude; var long = position.coords.longitude; ...}www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-API

offline detectionwindow.addEventListener(online, function(){ … }, true);window.addEventListener(offline, function(){ … }, true); …however, currently unreliable!

application cache<html manifest=”blah.manifest”>CACHE MANIFEST# send this with correct text/cache-manifest MIMEimages/sprites.pngscripts/common.jsscripts/jquery.jsstyles/global.cssNETWORK:# never cached (apart from normal caching mechanism)onlineonly.cssFALLBACK:# pattern matching. fallback file will also be cachedimages/ images/not-offline.png

data storagecookies and their limitations...document.cookie = key=value; expires=Thu, 15 Feb 201023:59:59 UTC; path=/…/* convoluted string operations go here … */

localStorage/sessionStoragelocalStorage.setItem(key, value);localStorage.getItem(key);localStorage.clear();localStorage.key = value;if (localStorage.key == …) { … }…localStorage – persistent per domainsessionStorage – current URL and window in sessiononly string data – store serialised objects

WebSQLrelational DB / SQL in browservar db =openDatabase(dbName, version, displayName, expectedSize);db.transaction(function(tx) { tx.executeSql(sqlStatement, [], function (tx, result) { /* do something with the results */ });});not being developed further (IE/Mozilla prefer IndexedDB)– nonetheless available right now in Opera+WebKit!

etcFile API, Web Workers, History API, Web Messaging,Drag and Drop, Server-Sent Events…

is it all safe to use, right now?

HTML5 as Flashkiller?

not a question ofHTML5 replacing Flash...

giving developers a choice!
