2. What is HTML5?

• HTML5 is a family of technologies and specifications:
  • Javascript : programming language (interactivity, content manipulation, data consumption, etc.)
  • CSS : style or appearance of the pages
  • HTML : structure of the pages
• The Web platform:
  • http://platform.html5.org/
• Current status:
  • Just check it out yourself:
    • http://caniuse.com/
    • http://mobilehtml5.org/ (mobile is a must!)

6. HTML elements in-depth

• The most important change in HTML5 is a philosophical one:
  • Semantics of elements vs. presentation
  • Ex.: <b> no longer states text in bold (backwards compatibility, preferably avoid them using CSS)

"The b element represents a span of text to which attention is being drawn for utilitarian purposes without conveying any extra importance and with no implication of an alternate voice or mood, such as key words in a document abstract, product names in a review, actionable words in interactive text-driven software, or an article lede."

(http://bit.ly/b-element)

6. HTML elements in-depth

• Some preliminary recommendations:
  • Add only the needed markup to give semantic significance to your content
  • Avoid using private semantics (use generic elements instead: <div>, <span>) and/or classes
  • Be as specific as possible (don't abuse of generic elements)
  • It's not all about presentation (programatic access to HTML content, adapted presentation, etc.)

• IndexedDB:
  • Basic concepts:
    • IndexedDB databases store key-value pairs:
      • Values can be complex structured objects
    • Transactional database model (auto-commit)
    • Mostly asynchronous (synchronous version not very supported)
    • Same origin policy

9. HTML5 APIs

1. Open a database and start a transaction
2. Create an object store
3. Make a request to do some database operation, like adding or retrieving data
4. Wait for the operation to complete by listening to the right kind of DOM event
5. Do something with the results (which can be found on the request object)

• WebSockets:
  • Socket-oriented connections between the web browser and a server 
  • Single TCP connection:
    • Not HTTP (avoiding HTTP overhead)
    • Low latency
    • Real-time communications
  • Persistent connections
  • Both parties can start sending data at any time (bidirectional)

9. HTML5 APIs

• WebSockets:
• Basic usage

• Web Workers:
  • Running scripts in background threads
  • Once created, a worker can send messages to the spawning task by posting messages to an event handler specified by the creator
  • They work within a global context different from the current window (using the window shortcut instead of self in order to get the current global scope within a worker will return, in fact, an error)
