So where is HTML 5 going exactly? Over the course of my career, I have been messing about with any number of languages from Machine Code, through Pascal to C+, C++, ActionScript, JavaScript and the list goes on.... So I'm wondering how HTML 5 is going to help? Anyone coded anything that's going to be run on Internet Explorer 6 recently? UK Government and Military intranets seem to feature this browser exclusively and are unwilling to change as they have so many organically produced databases and applications sat behind the browser. And they have neither time / money / willingness to work out whether they can migrate to anything else.
So what price HTML 5 apps?
Like many things I encounter, there is no sword of Damocles for this particular knot. from a developer's perspective, I am keen to embrace 5 and to build new skills, keep up to date with latest technologies etc etc but from a practical approach, I will struggle to produce a killer argument for implementation of a new and viable browser.
If anyone can articulate that argument for me, I'd be delighted!
