I keep hearing about HTML5 applications. When they say that, do they mean applications that are built using HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript only and without the help of MySQL, PHP and other backend tools?
“HTML 5 Application” is whishy-washy marketing speak. It might mean something that stands alone (probably using non-HTML 5 APIs such as web storage), it might mean something that just uses a little bit of HTML 5.
Certainly you still need a server if any data needs to travel beyond the browser (e.g. to share data with other people / devices, back data up on the cloud, get news feeds, etc).
