We live in a rapidly evolving world where technology has had a major impact on our lives today, especially Internet technology. HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript have changed the way we look at websites over time and still continue to evolve. According to (w3schools.com, 2014, HTML was first introduced in 1999 by WHATWG or Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group and has been the standard basis for most Internet pages. Since then, the recent version, HTML5, has replaced all previous versions and helps provide stunning content, such as animations, stunning graphics, music and help in creating complicated web applications, without the help of plug-ins.CSS3, also known as Cascading Style Sheets, plays an important role in website development. It is a web-based markup language used to describe the appearance and format of a website and is commonly used today in HTML (maclife .com, 2011). Little coding is required to develop rich pages, and CSS3 has also added new visual effects compared to previous versions, such as drop shadows, border effects, and other unique features. JavaScript technology is another key element in building websites in today's world. According to (Javascript.net, 2011) JavaScript is a scripting language designed to add interactivity to websites. It is the most used by programmers today and is very easy to use than any other scripting language like HTML. JavaScript should not be confused with Java, as they are two different scripting languages. Java is a more complex scripting language and is similar to the C programming language. With the combination of these three programming language technologies, you can create a unique and complex website to stand out… middle of paper… . ..you and HTML obviously to define the structure of the site yourself. In conclusion, I think these technologies are very useful for creating and creating unique websites today. Personally, I would continue to use them today, because visiting not only that website I mentioned before, but also various others is enough inspiration to help me create my own unique website. In my opinion, I find these technologies very useful, especially CSS and JavaScript, which are the easiest to code of the three, but also demonstrate that you can bring your creativity to life too. This is not to say that I will just give up on HTML5 and that I will not eliminate other technologies that are useful to use such as Adobe Flash or After Effects. I know that these technologies will constantly change over the years and I could adapt to using the new ones or just stick with what we have today.
