HTML 5 Introduction

HTML5 promises to change the way web applications are developed by providing cross-browser standardization. The term HTML 5 has come to mean far more than just HTML, however. The HTML 5 umbrella includes almost anything related to client-side functionality, including cascading style sheets and a host of new browser-provided standard features.
