I got asked a question that I really didn’t know how to answer. “What’s the difference between HTML5 and Javascript?” I mean we know HTML is a simple markup language but to get into the things that HTML5 does, such as the <canvas> tag for instance; don’t you really NEED JavaScript to produce those canvas animations? Would you even be able to make an image slider without any JavaScript assistance? When it comes down to it wouldn’t I be able to just use a JavaScript plugin vs HTML5 99% of the time?
