HTML5 Development

The programming language, HTML - short for Hypertext Markup Language and the Internet go hand in hand. After all, it's this rich coding language (which started with version 1.1) that formed the building blocks for creating the World Wide Web. Revision after revision has given subsequent HTML versions more power, capability and function. In turn, Websites have become more dynamic, memorable and user friendly.



Right now, HTML 4.0.1 is the standard currently used for Web development. But HTML 5 is the next big revision and is already well down the road toward standardization (in 2012). With features such as drag and drop and video playback without the need for third-party plug-ins such as Flash or Silverlight, it's a welcome revision.

Kirk Communications develops in HTML5 for the iPad

HTML 5 is already the programming language used for the Apple iPad because it incorporates touch screen features such as "tap" and "double tap." And with iPad sales heading toward 10 million units, HTML5, at least in this application, is no longer a wave; it's set in stone.



At Kirk,we're already developing in HTML5 for websites and the iPad as our clients begin taking advantage of the iPad's unique ability to organize, display and deliver content that's ideal for Point of Sale, training, salescalls and other presentations that are given 1-to-1 or in small groups.
