Programmers Kit

I am pretty excited about html 5.

<div> tags will still exist - but now there are cool new tags like <header>, <section>, <nav>, and <footer> (among others).

Basically all those things that we had to specify <div> tags as are included.

Some other neat tags to look forward to:

aside - this is content outside of the main area. It could be a sidenote, a tip, footnote.

dialog - a conversation

required attributes on form tags - with any luck, we won’t have to do so much javascript validation.

What I am most excited about is that the <font> tag will finally stop working. Hooray.
