Google has followed suit and launched a website of its own to showcase the benefits that HTML5 have to offer. The site has been properly named HTML5ROCKS, and it offers interactive presentations, tutorials, demos, and other resources. There’s a section called ‘Playground,’ which allows users to play around and experiment with their own code. The website was introduced today on the Chromium Blog.

Google launching the site with nine tutorials on specific HTML5 features. For example, you can learn how to successfully take your application offline, access the user’s location with Geolocation, and even read local files from within JavaScript. In the site, we’ve also included a number of APIs that are defined outside the W3C HTML5 Spec, but kept them within this site as next-generation web applications span many specs. Watch the site as we’ll soon be adding more guides.

The company explains:

“The presentation was originally meant to run in Google Chrome. Some experimental features might or might not be coded to run in other browsers for now. (Although you will cry out of happiness when you see so much running in IE with the Chrome Frame plug-in). If you want to run 100% of the demos contained in the presentation you might need to run Chrome with the webgl flag enabled.”

Unlike Apple though, HTML5ROCKS is aimed more toward developers and individuals with knowledge of HTML5 coding. Still it’s excellent that the company is embracing the technology with a dedicated website. HTML5 is really beginning to look as the future of the web.

Now, both Apple and Google, two of the most influential tech companies in the world, are embracing HTML5.
