Summary
We have seen in this chapter how easy it is to code in HTML5 utilizing its features to provide a device-independent application. WebSockets support is available in almost all modern browsers, and this has made our life easy in terms of developing consistent applications—we don't have to write different code for different devices. We have also seen how Node.js provides flexibility and great support for different devices. In this chapter, we have explored different mobile applications and some APIs which help us in implementing WebSockets, along with how to set up a local server to run applications.
In the next chapter, we will see how to enhance the HTML5 web application development using modern tools.
