HTML5: The Facts And The Myths

September 24, 2010 · by Aleksander Aas

Opera Web Evangelist Bruce Lawson and his friend Remy Sharp are not like the rest of us. They did however write a rather extensive article for Smashing Magazine together, killing of a few myths surrounding HTML5.

Do you want to know the history behind HTML5? Perhaps you think that an HTML5 Guru will hold your hand the first time you try it? We suggest you take a look at their myth-busting article. They even explain how you can use of HTML5 video, how it can and can't replace Flash and how it can be done with perfect backward compatibility.

Well worth the read, so check out "HTML5: The Facts And The Myths".

    I think that may help a few people be less scared of a new thing.

    Smashing Magazine is one of my favourite reads. Some days are better than others but it's always worth a browse.
