HTML5 is coming! Be amazed by The Wilderness Downtown
Ok, we agree, only Internet geeks have the potential to get
excited by this news title.
Which is why we at Itomic are excited!
This from Wikipedia about
HTML5:
HTML5 is currently under development as the next major
revision of the HTML standard. Like its immediate predecessors,
HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1, HTML5 is a standard for structuring and
presenting content on the World Wide Web. The new standard
incorporates features like video playback and drag-and-drop that
have been previously dependent on third-party browser plug-ins such
as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Google Gears.
This means that websites can and will be designed and built with
richer, more immersive and interactive features that would either
not be technically possible today, or are possible today but
only with the help of 3rd party plug-in software.
At time of writing, it's not smart for any web company to be
designing and developing websites that are heavily dependent on the
major Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome,
Safari, and Opera) 'behaving themselves' when it comes to the full
implementation of HTML5 (and CSS3) specifications. Because they
don't. Yet. The good news is that the software developers behind
these browsers all view HTML5 standards as 'a good thing' for the
web, and are therefore actively working towards getting their
browsers to behave. If you'd like to get more insight into which
browsers are leading the charge towards 100% compliancy, try this
for size: http://www.findmebyip.com/litmus.
(if you want to find out lots more about the browser you're using
right now, go here: http://www.findmebyip.com/#target-selector).
Although it's market penetration continues to dwindle,
Microsoft's Internet Explorer (latest version: 8) is currently at
the back of the pack in terms of being HTML5 friendly. That said,
IE9 isn't far away, and
this major new release will put Internet Explorer right back in the
running.
A great example of how Adobe Flash will likely become less
dominant is how Youtube is already gearing up to display all videos
(and that's a lot of videos!) when a certain critical mass of
Internet users are using HTML5-compliant browsers: http://www.youtube.com/html5
OK, enough geek talk. How about a demonstration? This one we
spotted recently, and it blew us away! Play with this a few times
and you'll spot more 'funky' things/features each time...

But don't forget! At time of writing you'll need to be using a
browser OTHER than IE8 in order to have the best chance of the full
HTML5 experience offered by The Wilderness Downtown website. Also,
you MUST have sound on your computer for the full effect. Here are
the links:

is probably you're best bet, given that it's a Google-sponsored
experiment!)

HTML5 - bring it on!
