ABSTRACT

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), and the VIDEO element are all great improvements to HTML5. The role for HTML5, however, is not to simply add eye-candy, but to enable developers to create applications in web browsers that are equal in performance to desktop applications. To accomplish this, you need a powerful development language that gives developers the ability to create sophisticated solutions. The answer to this is JavaScript, the world’s most popular programming language.
