Yes, you can start using HTML5 today
Posted By Estelle Weyl on November 6, 2010
People, including someone from the W3C, have stated that HTML5 is not ready for production. I’ve been asked several times “do you have any HTML5 websites.” So, here is my list… not that they are the best, but just to show that they do exist (though my designer sends me flash, so i haven’t incorporated the <video> element yet:
- http://www.uptake.com (just the homepage now. working on the rest of the site)
- http://www.clarkdodgewealth.com
- http://www.caperberryevents.com
- http://www.standardista.com (that’s this one!)
- http://www.directsourcepackaging.com/
- http://www.poshpublicrelations.com/
here are a few sites that list a bunch of HTML5 websites
- 20 HTML5 websites to inspire you at devlounge
- http://html5gallery.com/ (they keep on adding new ones almost daily)
- 30 HTML5 websites
So, go ahead and use HTML5. Use tools like:
- http://html5boilerplate.com (templates to get you started)
- http://modernizr.com (browser feature detection script)
- http://www.jquery.com (for JavaScript)
- http://www.westciv.com/tools/ (for CSS3)
- http://www.CSS3Please.com (for CSS3)
If you need some tutorials on some HTML5 topics, i’ve written a bunch:
- <canvas>
- GeoLocation
- Application Cache (Offline applications)
- Web Forms
- Developing for Mobile
