HTML5 is the latest revision of the Hypertext Markup Language, the code used to create web pages. HTML5 is designed to be independent of any particular browser or device. It includes new features like video playback, drag-and-drop, as well as enhancements to existing features like forms and tables.
CSS3 is used to manipulate and heighten the visual design of webpages. CSS3 allows you to control the look and feel of every element on a web page without having to rely on images or JavaScript.
In a nutshell, JavaScript is the basic programming language that lets you add interactivity to your webpages. With JavaScript, you can create animations, make things happen when users click on buttons or links, and much more.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a language for describing data. XML is used to create and exchange data between different applications, and it’s the foundation of the modern web.
jQuery, an open-source JavaScript library that makes it easy to manipulate web pages using CSS selectors. It’s rapidly becoming the standard way of working with HTML5 and AJAX.
AJAX is a type of JavaScript that allows you to update parts of a page without having to reload the whole thing. All modern web browsers support AJAX in some form or another, so web pages can be more responsive.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a way of representing data in JavaScript. It’s easy to read and write, and it’s become the standard way of exchanging data between web browsers and servers.
RWD is applied when creating websites that are responsibe and adapt to the display of different devices, from smartphones to large desktop monitors. With RWD, you can create one website that automatically adapts to the size of the screen it’s being displayed on.
