<p><em>My answer to <a href="https://www.quora.com/If-I-study-HTML5-can-I-avoid-having-to-learn-javascript/answer/Simon-Willison">If I study HTML5, can I avoid having to learn javascript?</a> on Quora</em></p> <p>Many of the most exciting new features that fall under the term HTML5 only make sense in the context of JavaScript - things like Canvas, Web Workers, AppCache and so on.
