HTML5 is seen as a useful tool to develop popular Web Application for the Web developer. And it adds the support function of video and Canvas 2D. Nowadays, people re-examine the future of browsers specialized multimedia plug-in, such as the Flash of Adobe and Silverlight of Microsoft. Anyway, HTML5 provides a standardized way to realize these functions of plug-in. Then I would like to introduce the following three cool HTML5 development tools to help developer integrate HTML5 features in the program.
Let’s begin with the Adobe Edge. Adobe Edge is a new web interactive tool which allow designer to make animation page with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript without Flash. Its purpose is to help professional web designer to create animation page and simple games. The important point of the Adobe Edge is animation engine, but it will add more HTML5 features in the future. However, it doesn’t mean Adobe Edge will replace Flash. Generally speaking, Adobe Edge just provides a tool for web designer to make network animation on the devices (such as Apple IOS Devices) without supporting Flash.
Next is Adobe Dreamweaver. It is much common use in our daily development. As web design software, Adobe Dreamweaver provides the visual editing interface of HTML website and mobile application. The Fluid Grid layout systems integration and CSS functions supply adaptive layout and across-plates compatibility. In a word, Adobe Dreamweaver not only can preview on Live View window but also support multi screen preview function. Then Live View support HTML5 through Webkit engine.
Then last HTML5 development tools I would like to talk today is the Google Web Toolkit. This tool is common used for developing browsers application but it also supports many HTML5 function on the base. For instance, support client side and web store and Canvas visualization, audio and video widget. Anyway, it is a good tool for developer to develop browsers.
All in all, more and more developers are interested in the HTML5 although the standard of HTML5 is not finished developing yet. Then why HTML5 is so popular today? Not only because of the across-platform feature but also is the content of web, and it will lead web into a wild extensive ecological platform.
