HTML 5

“HTML5 is being developed as the next major revision of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), the core markup language of the World Wide Web. The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) started work on the specification in June 2004 under the name Web Applications 1.0. As of February 2010[update], the specification is in the “Last Call” state at the WHATWG.” says Wikipedia.org.

We like to see that the web evolves and things are getting better. Let’s hope that this new version will bring more opportunities and will not cause problems. As we know, we can find browser incompatibilities at every step so, the web will need a slow integration of this new “standard” and a lot of time.

Web standards

I read in many places from the web, the question: “why is the w3c validation so important?”. In my opinion, it’s important to make a hight quality website, not just a website.

We use the doctype for xHTML 1.0 [strict or Transitional]
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>
OR
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>

So, why is this so important:

1. A quality code is easily interpreted by any browser so you will avoid problems in different browsers.
2. You can see the website even using a mobile phone with no problems.
3. A better search engine optimisation. Crawlers will get the content with no problems.
…And many others.

How to check the website validation?
Simple, just go to validator.w3.org and enter your URL.

PHP 5 – new suff

The PHP manual is a great book but you must read careful to understand the important stuff. After my first look on the PHP5 manual, I got my attention on the “what’s new” section. So, what’s really useful from those new things.

1. interface Display { function display(); }
class Circle implements Display {
function display() { print “Displaying circle\n”; }
}

2. class MyClass { const SUCCESS = “Success”; }
print MyClass::SUCCESS;

3. function expectsMyClass(MyClass $obj) { /* code */ }

4. $obj = new MyIteratorImplementation();
foreach ( $obj as $value ) { print “$value”; }

5. foreach ($array as &$value) {
if ($value === “NULL”) { $value = NULL; }
}

…And many others.
Anyway, I concluded that reading is very useful.
