HTML5: Structure, Syntax, and Semantics

Gain a deeper understanding of HTML5, and learn how to create richer, more meaningful webpages with HTML5 structural tags and enhanced semantic markup. In this course, senior author James Williamson presents an overview of HTML5, demystifies the language’s new tags and attributes, and discusses how browsers parse and display HTML5 content. He’ll help you make sure your pages (including elements like navigation) are properly structured and sectioned, and show how to use HTML5’s unique features for representing quotes, figures, and dates and times. You’ll also discover how to extend meaning and make content more accessible with comments, meta- and microdata, and ARIA roles—elements which lead to better experiences for website visitors and development colleagues alike.
