HTML5 is the HTML standard which includes HTML (HyperText Markup Language), CSS (Cascading StyleSheets) and JavaScript. These are the basic languages that the web browser understands and each one serves a specific purpose (which you will learn about in this book).In an effort to teach HTML5, this book will walk you through the creation of a number of SPAs (Single Page Applications) built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.More Than Just HTML5However, you will learn far more than HTML5. In this book we will work together to build a foundation of understanding that will carry you into an IT (Information Technology) career. We will do this by taking on HTML5 from a Software Developer's viewpoint. That means we will focus on gaining foundational knowledge, tools and technologies which are transferable to other work you will do in the IT (Information Technology) world. We will also discuss what differentiates the software developer role from a more advanced role like the software architect or systems architect. Understanding the differences in the roles is very important to understanding what will help you to continue to grow in the software industry. Process Makes the DifferenceHere's the main difference in the roles: process. That's right, simply having a structured process that guides you through the software development life cycle will help you to stand out from other software developers. This is true, because almost anyone with minimal skills can get something working, but it takes a special system to be able to develop software and systems that are easily fixed, enhanced and supported by a team.
