DAT204: Laying down the foundations and tightening up the ratchet...

So far, the foundations of the semantic application has been laid, and what was originally the empty shell of an app that has yet to see the light of the day has now started to progress. In terms of the app, I have chosen to include XML in harmony with HTML5. Despite it sounding like a rather uncanny marriage, the ability of using custom tags in HTML5 is still there, and even though XHTML was going to be the future, the clear direction was that HTML5 eventually emerged to become the winner.

However, the idea of 'XHTML5' still hasn't been put to the metaphorical bed yet, and as this application shows, the idea of XML semantics with the many features of the HTML5 platform can still be a good one.

As the Christmas holidays are starting to just come around the corner, the work still doesn't stop; the next part is to get the graphics sorted out and figure out a way of getting the content in whilst adding in the wonderful HTML5 features.
