The main objective of a recent survey by Kendo UI, a division of Telerik, was to determine the adoption patterns of HTML5 and separate the facts from fiction, thereby revealing real world use of the language. Over 4,000 developers were polled worldwide in September of last year. Overall results from the survey show that an eye-opening 82% of the polled said they believe it is important for them to start developing with HTML5 within the next 12 months, while 63% said they were already developing with HTML5. On the other side of the argument, only a mere 6% said they have no current plans for its use.
The two biggest reasons that developers gave as appealing factors in their use of HTML5 are:
* FAMILIARITY OF LANGUAGES (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS) - 72%
* CROSS PLATFORM SUPPORT - 62%
The familiarity of languages is no surprise. It's a comfort level thing, but the cross platform support notion reinforces the fact that HTML5 allows developers to bridge the gap of operating system fragmentation problems for mobile applications. The cost savings of a developer using HTML5 for an app that works across all mobile operating systems including Android, iOS, and others, can be tremendous especially if you consider a magazine or newspaper application that doesn't have to pay Apple a costly 30% royalty fee. Considerable time can also be saved by using HTML5 with the ability to reach all platforms at once instead of having to develop a native app for each.
Doing business today is all about time and money, no matter what industry you're in, and HTML5 flat out saves you on both. That's why developers are finally starting to take notice.
