Gary Robson from North East digital company Industrial Strength, outlined some of the possibilities and difficulties of using HTML5 from a web developer’s point of view.
“We haven’t really used it in any of our projects yet because the browser support simply isn’t wide enough yet (usually down to Internet Explorer)”, he said.
“One of the frustrations of web development is that we usually end up standardising on yesterday’s technology in order to ensure a wide potential userbase and that we aren’t cutting off a large share of possible site visitors to a clients site through compatibility.”

The latest development in the HTML5 vs. Flash debate was YouTube rewriting its mobile site entirely in HTML5 – after criticising it in their official blog. This was happy news for iPhone and iPad users, but the rest of us are confused. Who’s in the right and what’s the future of these web technologies?
