Does Treehouse have any classes in HTML 5? I don't see anything...

Hey Demian, Whenever you see the doctype at the top of the html page as <!DOCTYPE html> The document is HTML5

Hi Demian. Any Treehouse course on HTML is probably going to be in regards to HTML5 as it is now the standard.

Hey. Thanks guys. When I took the How to Build a Website class this past summer Nick Petit (I think that's the instructor's name) said that most of what was being learned was HTML 4. Maybe I should retake that lesson, huh?

It would be odd if a recent course were taught using HTML 4.01. It was replaced by XHTML as a standard over a decade ago and html 5 has replaced XHTML as the new standard. Could it be that the instructor actually said a lot of the coding in the class would be similar to HTML 4.01?

Everything in the HTML course is correct, but there's far too much to cover in a dozen courses.

However you can get most of what you will use day-to-day if you go through the Treehouse HTML course and then check out the Tuts Plus HTML5 and You blog series.

Why not "HTML5 Foundation" ?
