    Rule of the Internet - keep moving with time or be left behind.

    HTML5 is the latest development in HTML. It essentially eases the burden on developers as it has plenty of features which can be implemented directly using HTML, when first you needed to use slightly complicated javascript for the same effects.

    Also, most new browsers have many features of HTML5 implemented. In a year or so, the newest browser versions should be 90% html5 compliant.

    For eg: HTML5 includes placeholders for form elements where you needed to use javascript to implement them earlier on.

    CSS3, in the same way, is further development in CSS2.1.

    For eg: You can implement text-shadows, gradients, box-shadows etc using CSS3. This reduces usage of images and thus reduces load time drastically.

    I hope this helps.

    HTML is purely handle on non animation content, HTML5 do handle animation content. This is a book build by Google with HTML5 format instead of flash content. "20thingsilearned.com"

    Html 5.0 is a latest version of the html.This document may not provide accurate information as the HTML5 specification is still in development. When in doubt, always check the HTML5 specification itself. HTml 5.0 include various features like extra tags related to audio and video.

    HTML 5 allows adding dynamic content to web pages without the use of external plugins for example, Flash.

    It also helps settle the issues that arise with the clutter of divs.
