AVANT

More and more websites are incorporating the latest web standards to deliver content – optimized especially for devices. But there are plenty of reasons to celebrate these new standards for the desktop “browser-based web”, too. For over a decade I have been using Flash for creating rich application and website interfaces  – and later Silverlight – (I contributed to iterations of both of those platforms) – but AVANT is eagerly awaiting the broader acceptance of HTML5 standards. Not only is HTML5 making page structure easier to architect which cuts my cost as an agency; consider all of the features like drag and drop, audio and video playback (typically reserved for Flash/Silverlight implementation). Not to mention extendabilty to a litany of devices without having to extensively recode an interface. As AVANT anticipates the W3 recomendation to use HTML5, (which will make the technology more pervasive),  Draft5 is a great resource for boning up on the next important evloution of the standards-based web (another month, another W3 draft update): Draft 5.
