What is HTML5?

HTML5 is is a language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web, a core technology of the Internet. It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard (originally created in 1990 and most recently standardized as HTML4 in 1997[1]) and as of August 2011[update] is still under development. Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers etc.). HTML5 is intended to subsume not only HTML4, but XHTML1 and DOM2HTML (particularly JavaScript) as well.

Is HTML5 ready now?Yes and No.

HTML5 is now ready for use by developers provided they use fallbacks since the specification for HTML5 is not yet finalized. According to the W3C, HTML5 is still in Draft. So expect changes to happen anytime. The expected completion is 2022 or later. Although many parts of the specifications are already stable and may be implemented.
