Ten Major Advantages of HTML5


This is only the overview of the HTML5 advantages, actually there is lots more to know about HTML5.
1. Mutuality:
Due to usability purpose the web sites made by developers are highly interactive nowadays and for this developers need to include fluid animations, stream video, play music and Social Network sites like Facebook and Twitter into the websites. Till now they have only the option to integrate it with the help of Flash or Silverlight, Flex or javascript like tools. But these consume so much time to develop and even the complexity of web application also increased. But now with the help of HTML5 it is possible to embed video and audio, high quality drawings, charts and animation and many other rich content without using any plugins and third party programmas as the functionality is built into the browser.
2. Cleaner markup / Improved Code:
HTML 5 will enable web designers to use cleaner, neater code, we can remove most div tags and replace them with semantic HTML 5 elements.
3. Improved Semantics:
Now it is easy to see which parts of the page are headers, nav, footers, aside, etc as the tags are specific for these all and most importantly know what their meaning and purpose is in whole the format. By using HTML5 elements we can increase the semantic value of the web page as the codes are very standardized.
4. Elegant forms:
HTML5 enables designer to use more fancier forms. Even it makes form validation native to HTML, User interface enhancements and reduced need for JavaScript (only needed in browsers that don’t support form types). There will be different type of text inputs, search and different fields for different purpose.
5. Consistency:
As websites adopt the new HTML5 elements we will see more greater consistency in terms of the HTML used to code a web page on one site compared to another. This will make it more easier for designers and developers to immediately understand how a web page is structured.
6. Improved Accessibility:
Different technologies can elaborate on the features with the help of HTML5, as they can Immediately make more detailed understanding of the structure of a page by take a look at HTML5 elements it has.
7. Fulfill  the need of Web application:
Many new features and standards have emerged as part of HTML 5. Once you detect the available features in today’s browsers, you can take advantage of those features in your application. Main focus of HTML5 is to make easier application with easy front-ends, drag and drop tools, discussion boards, wikis and other useful elements.
8. Offline Application cache:
All browsers have some kind of caching m After a sometime, you open up your laptop and click the Back button in the browser hoping to see the previous page that was opened. However, as you are not connected to the internet and the browser didn’t cache the page properly, you are unable to view that page. You then click the Forward button thinking that at least that page will load, but it doesn’t. You need to reconnect to the internet to be able to view the pages. HTML 5, thankfully, provides a smarter solution. While building the site, the developer can specify the files that the browser should cache. So, even if you refresh the page when you are offline, the page will still load correctly. This sort of caching has several advantages like offline browsing, files load much faster and reduced load on server
9. Client-side database:
While cookies have been used to track unique user data for years, they have serious disadvantages. The largest flaw is that all of your cookie data is added to every HTTP request header. This can end up having a measurable impact on response time. So a best practice is to reduce cookie size. With HTML5 we can do better  by using  sessionStorage and localStorage(two different storage in HTML5) in place of cookies. It is not a permanent database, but enables you to store structured data, temporarily.
10. Geolocation support:
With help of Geolocation any one can find out where you are in the world and sharing that information with people. There is different ways to figure out where you are — your IP address, your wireless network connection, which cell tower your phone is talking to, or dedicated GPS hardware that calculates latitude and longitude from information sent by satellites in the sky. But The new HTML5 geolocation APIs make location, whether generated via GPS or other methods, directly available to any HTML5-compatible browser-based application.

Build a Web Application design


Web applications are more challenging to create design and the website. Designer wants to anticipate user of behavior, make users’ lives easier and make the experience as visually appealing as possible. Lot of designers tends to do what is easier for them than think about what’s easier for the user. A small tips that designers often overlook in the process of designing a web application.

1. The Power of a Good Tooltip

When you present your web application to a potential customer, If you want to do is ruin your lovely graphic design work by plastering words everywhere to hand hold your new user. Tooltips of your icons can use in a big way. Tooltips offer using the ability to learn a system by exploring icons without harming they are experience. People who are learn what all the buttons do can feel immersed in the experience. When it has been a mobile display, you can use a button that toggles the tooltips off and on. The first you can tap your display the tooltip and the second tap would submit the action.

2. Don’t reply on the User’s Memory

There is nothing more frustrating than flicking between pages or tabs where the information you need on page 2 was entered on page 1. A website app should not force users to remember their details. This should simply allow them to do whatever action they need to do, and presenting them with the most wanted information possible to help them complete their task. If the user is required to entering their customer reference number at the beginning of a process, they will not have to re-enter that information a second time. If you can must ask a user for more than one piece of information that they have to reference elsewhere (bank statement, order reference etc.), you can make them does it all on one page to prevent cognitive overload.

3. Offer Multiple Methods of Execution

Any web app you create needs to adapt to your user’s behavior and offer multiple routes to the end goal. Let us imagine a task management application. A different task may contain a number of information properties that define what needs to be done (date, priority, description etc.). The default method is to add a task with its associated information properties. However, even though you should also give users a quick method to add a task without filling in the extra information properties. Offer for different routes to reach the same end goal makes your application more dynamic for users, so that can get things done at their own pace.

4. Don’t Go Modal Happy

“Hey look at me, nothing else matters!” That is what modal popup scream to users. There is a modern-day answer to popup windows that are sometimes overused. You should have use models to draw the user’s attention. But if you can force your users to focus their attention at every turn, they would soon get tired and turn off. Another handling tip that’s often overlooked is to allow users to close the modal popup when they click outside of the window on the faded background. Users couldn’t like to our work than they need to, and they have don’t like to shouted at. Using the model popups brilliantly and sparingly helps to keep the user in control of their situation.

5. Give Valuable Status Messages

‘Please Wait…’ and ‘Loading…’ are usually messages you’ll find at the top of a page. They are rarely add to the user experience of the application, but if you could do inform users that the application is busy doing something. There is a problem is when they are small and unnoticeable. People whom miss the status messages become frustrated at the application for not reacting to their input as they don’t realize it is occupied with another task.
For example, when you first load Google Maps a small yellow status message appears at the top of the page somewhere center-left, which can be you may not have even seen it before. While these status can message is present, this map cannot be dragged around until it finishes loading. If it is more important enough to stop all use of your application, then the small status message is not enough feedback. If your status message has a vital message such as ‘Please Wait…’ it should appear in a modal window with a transparent overlay. This is clearly tells the user to wait, and users can be always more forgiving if they are aware of exactly what is happening.

6. Don’t Worry About Scrolling. Use It to Your Advantage.

Worrying too much about ‘the fold’ can seriously turn your user interface design from a scrollable, free flow design to a cramped and messy affair. The roots of the problem is an unrealistic fear that people who use computers do not know how to scroll or that anything under the fold will never be seen. What you need to combat ‘the fold’ is a quick way of explaining what your web app is all about above the fold. What is that? Why should users care about the design? Is there is more info further down the page? If you can be make your app interesting enough above the fold, users shall be scroll down to experience more of the page. Leave it enough content below the fold to continue to satisfy the user. Once if they’re at the bottom, you can be more fairly confident that you have an interested user looking at your content. The bottom of the page is most valuable area of your site because the end is mostly for users who are likely to engage with your app than casual browsers who stay mostly at the top.
