What would be the most likely impact of HTML5 on platforms such as Java, PHP, and ASP.NET?

Question

I understand you still need to drive a lot of server-client communications, saving data in central repositories etc etc.

But what is the primal impact of HTML5 on these platforms when building web applications? Major changes that developers should be vary about?

Answer 1

I believe that the impact on these Programming languages will be minimal to nothing. Because in every language the developers are more and more using frameworks which use the MVC model to develop Web Applications.

The transition to HTML5 only affects the V in MVC. The models and controllers won't change much or nothing. So the only thing that will change a little is the view part of MVC, so the usage of HTML and a lot more of Javascript will change.

IMHO: It will have an impact on HTML and a huge impact on JavaScript (a lot of new APIs), but it won't change a lot in the programming languages used for the backends.
