Finally, a HTML5 spec for Web Developers!

Vince Scordino Team : Web Development Tags : Web Development

If you’re a front-end web developer, chances are you’ve never read the HTML5 spec (I don’t blame you). You see, the HTML5 spec was written for browser developers (not web), so the worst part of viewing it would be the attempt to translate such gibberish the actual spec dictates into words a normal human can understand. Have no fear, the W3C’s HTML Working Group (not to be confused with the WHATWG) has published a draft of a far more readable spec named “HTML5: Edition for Web Authors”.

This version is still quite technical, however if you know your DIV’s from your TABLE’s, it shouldn’t be hard to navigate yourself around the spec without the irrelevant notes about conformance criteria and other browser maker-specific lingo. In fact, after having a quick browse, it has finally shed some light on when to use <section> and when to use <article> #winning
