HTML5 is one of the newest technologies on the web today. With the introduction of HTML5, older and more inefficient technologies, such as Flash, are beginning to be phased out, due to the fact that HTML5 (along with a few other revolutionary technologies) can do everything that they can in a much more efficient way. One aspect of HTML5 that will be particularly useful for developers and users is the ability to create web apps that function offline.

With the introduction of HTML5, data can now be stored within the user’s browser. This means that a web app could potentially work offline, using the data that was stored within the user’s browser when that user was online. Once the user returns to an online state, any data created or altered when the user was offline will be synced with the online database. This technology is already being used in some apps, such as calendar apps, office suite apps, web pos apps, & more.
