Course Summary
HTML5 is the next major milestone in HTML and it is not just another incremental enhancement; it represents an enormous advance for modern web applications. HTML5 is such a big step forward that it prompted Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering at Google, to say "The web has not seen this level of transformation, this level of acceleration, in the past ten years… we're betting big on HTML5."
A large number of features are already supported in browsers, so it is time to start using it! In this HTML5 Fast Track training course, you will learn how to create HTML5 web pages and web applications using HTML5 markup and HTML5 JavaScript APIs.

Course Testimonials
Really excellent class in a subject that is largely untried so far. I would happily recommend this class to others and also would take more classes at this facility and with this instructor.
I learned to harness a great deal of the new technology that HTML5 has to offer. Very cool and informative!
