- On the promise of HTML5
- The most important aspect of HTML5 isn’t the new stuff like video and canvas (which Safari and Firefox have both been shipping for years) it’s actually the honest-to-god promise of interoperability. Even stodgy old Microsoft, who has been doing their best to hold back the web for nearly a decade, understands this and you’ll see [...] [12 Jul 2010]
- The HTML5 video progress event: Redux
- In my first post on HTML5 video and its progress event, I wrote: Only Firefox provides a means to calculate the amount of the video that has been loaded.

- On Apple’s iPad, HTML5, and the future of Flash
- So Apple announced the iPad, and it won’t support Flash. That shouldn’t be a surprise. Neither the iPhone nor iPod Touch support Flash. Indeed most mobile platforms don’t (yet) support Flash. Even the smartest of smart phones have limited processing power and storage space compared to laptops and desktops. According to Steve Jobs, Apple doesn’t [...] [4 Feb 2010]
- Remy Sharp introduces you to web storage in HTML5
- From his 24 Ways piece, Breaking Out The Edges of The Browser: The Web Storage API is basically cookies on steroids, a unhealthy dosage of steroids. Cookies are always a pain to work with.
