Well I decided that I would do an article on HTML5, but have to admit I approached the subject well to be honest totally negatively. I had spent time learning XHTML and then making sites strict XHTML, done semantic structures , been told javascript was bad, then told it was good, and well to be honest felt like it was all a complete waste of time.
Another bloody web standard I thought after wasting time turning <b> to <strong>, as I read HTML5 I cursed to myself "great now there saying <b> is OK again (never thought their was anything wrong in the first place)."
Then as I delved into the history of HTML5 , I thought, hang on these guys are saying the things I felt back then. Mark Pilgrims rant on W3C (very funny) and even the formation of WHATWG I recognised was born out of a frustration of where XHTML was heading.
Slowly my opinion changed and as I started to read about common tasks such as form validation being shifted to the browser I was hooked. The more I read the more I fell in love with HTML5. Or should we say "lego" instead of "love".
By the end of the article I dumped my Strict XHTML Doctype that was so complicated I can no longer remember it and put up <!DOCTYPE html>.
Great work guys. I am now a HTML5 lego'er.........
