HTML5 is the scaffolding that lies beneath almost every contemporary application.

There was a time when only web designers needed to know HTML5 well. However, it's now a universal skill that every developer needs. Strong HTML5 provides a strong foundation for apps. It also allows you to correctly develop content that appears on web sites, in mobile apps and even digital signage.

How do you learn to create strong HTML5 code that can be easily maintained?

That's what we're here to talk about...

FACT: HTML5 is the First Language You Need to Know (...and an important part of web and mobile developers' daily work)

We get the question all the time: I want to become a developer, but I don't know where to start.

We don't have to sell you on the idea of becoming a developer. If you're you here, you already know it's one of the most lucrative (and fastest growing) career tracks out there. It's HTML5 that allows you to get your foot in the door. HTML5 developers:

• Create the scaffolding for content display for web sites, mobile sites and many mobile applications.
• Mark up web content so it can be distributed across multiple platforms
• Work in large scale digital publishing to create flexible content
• Combine HTML5 skills with other digital skill sets to become web and mobile developers

In other other words, HTML5 development skills are critical to all developers. HTML5 is the foundation to almost any development process.

That's why business, design studios, development shops and other organizations need HTML5 developers.

But there's a problem. Most people who learned HTML, learned it in school 12 years ago and have no idea that they're doing.
