HTML5 is such a big step forward that it prompted Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering at Google, to say “The web has not seen this level of transformation, this level of acceleration, in the past ten years… we're betting big on HTML5.” A large number of features are already supported in browsers, so it is time to start using it!
