Web design is changing constantly – with the advent of mobile media and what I call the ipad nightmare. For web designers, the need to step up is almost going to be overwhelming. Hopefully, this post will give you a little idea about what you need to step up to as a web designer in middle-earth!
HTML5:
The current version of the HTML markup language was still in development in June 2011, but it is already being used as an all-encompassing update to HTML4, XHTML1, and JavaScript. It’s an effort to standardize markup language to avoid syntax errors in web documents. HTML5 also defines how invalid documents should be processed. This ensures that all browsers will treat syntactical errors the same way. If language in the real world was updated as often as HTML, maybe we would finally all just get along. As it is, we might as well sit in front of our computer monitors and rely on this standardized markup language to understand each other, even if we never end up leaving the house again.
