So you’ve heard all rumors that HTML5 would take over Adobe Flash. While most web community argues that it’s possible or not, you must be wondering what makes HTML5 so powerful that even giant company Apple wants to use it to replace Flash.
That’s why this post exists; we’re not going to talk about what HTML5 can do, but show live demos of magical things that HTML5 can achieve with another language like JavaScript, so get ready to be inspired.
Note: As HTML5 is not fully supported by certain web browser like Internet Explorer, you’re strongly recommended to use Firefox browser to view all HTML5 demos below.
Animation
The HTML5’s canvas element is the deciding factor for HTML5 to replace certain Flash animation. It allows you to build dynamic, scriptable rendering of 2D shapes and bitmap images with Javascript, which by other mean is controllable animation.
