Recently, while following the hype that the iPad produced, Steve Jobs made a comment which stood out for me over the iPad and the fact that it didn’t support Adobe Flash. He said that Adobe were “lazy” and lack of Flash wouldn’t be a problem for the iPad since everyone will be moving onto HTML5, but is HTML5 really going to replace Flash?

Where are we now?

The web is pretty ubiquitous; it’s basically everywhere you go nowadays, from our phones to our computers giving us an almost constant connection to the net. The internet itself has close to 2 billion users, which is quite a few people. Prevalence is predicted to spread, with countries even making broadband a legal right.

Below are 5 of the main ways the internet is going to change over the coming years. Unlike the transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0, the transition to Web 3.0 will be a much bigger deal, because of the sheer amount of people using the internet.

Most if not all of these CSS3 features are not widely supported by Browsers as of yet, and thus it is not recommended that you try to use them in real projects, as they probably wont work.

A lot of attention is being directed at HTML 5 and how awesome it is, but CSS 3 has just as many cool features which will make our lives easier as web developers and designers. Below I’ve outlined 8 of the coolest new things coming to a browser near you, or that has already been partially implemented into some browsers.

Chances are if you’re in the whole web development business, you’ve heard of HTML 5. It’s being thrown around as the next big thing to hit our computer screens, adding some awesome functionality to what was a pretty static language.

A lot of people don’t really know what HTML 5 will do for them, and I’m going to do a little bit of explaining as to what HTML 5 can really allow you to do. It’s a pretty impressive language, and a lot of elements aren’t supported in all browsers yet, but hopefully you’ll get the basic jist of what the web will let you do in the next few years.
