HTML5 is fast emerging technology standard and now is the time to be learning these best practices to get a head of the curve. HTML5 aims to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices such as web browsers, parsers etc.) Consider what has happened in the past – it was the “wild west” – everyone was doing what they thought best, but with many inconsistencies.

WebProfessionals.org has spent well over a decade promoting web standards and working with many entities and organizations. In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor, WebProfessionals.org has also helped standardize web professional position titles (such as web designer, web developer, and webmaster).
