Why HTML5 Is Becoming the HMI Technology of Choice
Information about HTML5 ranges from the W3C documents themselves to business cases, evangelists’ musing, and seemingly innumerable how-to articles and tutorials chock full of code samples.

If anything, information about HTML5 is over-abundant: the W3C documents themselves, business cases, evangelists’ musing, and seemingly innumerable ...

One of the advantages of HTML pages and browsers is their forgiving nature. Browsers were originally designed to do their best to display what they’re served, and ignore what they didn’t understand. If a specified font is missing, the browser substitutes another; if an element or attribute ...
Better programming model
Despite the large number of new and very useful features it introduces, arguably the most important change with HTML5 is not part of the specification, but the way that the development community is reacting to application development using HTML5. Since HTML5 is becoming a more popular choice for ...
Conclusion
