As the improvements in the web industry move at an almost unfathomable pace, experts are looking for ways to create avenues for web developers to acquaint with the changing standards in the industry, as well as to keep up with the emerging technologies, like new HTML 5 standards.
The World Wide Web Consortium, more popularly known as the W3C, recently launched the Web Platform Docs, a new website which contains a number of tutorials and relevant documents for developers to get a hang off the changing web standards.
W3C hopes to market the Web Platform Docs as the top-platform for those who are looking for a one-stop how-to-site where people can learn more about technologies transforming the cybersphere. The instructional website also aims to consolidate efforts from different parties to create a neutral platform for reliable resources.
According to W3C’s Head of Marketing and Communications Ian Jacobs, the website has already received support from tech giants like Nokia, Opera, Mozilla, Google, and Facebook. Jacob’s say the Web Platform Docs is the consortium’s “biggest scale effort for documentation.”
Aside from informative materials, the online platform will include forums, chat services, and discussion boards where web developers and web users can provide feedback, ask questions, and make recommendations. Those who write the Web standards can now be in contact with those who use them.
W3C is hopeful community input will drive the platform’s growth and eventual success. Experts liken the task of bringing together web application developers in an online fora where other small-time developers can participate in learning about the Web standards, to something like Wikipedia, where users can freely edit the space and take part in the broadening of the applications.
