in example, in HTML5 if you want to include a javascript script you just put your javascript script in <script></script> tag, you don' t need the type like at HTML4 <script type=' text/javascript'></script>; to specify that code is HTML5 you just write <!doctype html> on top your HTML page, rather than you must <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> if you use strict HTML4.01 ... in HTML 5 the character encoding (charset) declaration is also very simple: <meta charset="UTF-8"> ... websemantic, multimedia (audio/video) support, graphic element (canvas, svg) and many more cmiiw :)

HTML5 is nothing but the latest version of HTML. It introduced some new features like Audio and Video, Geolocation etc,. So, HTML5 can be a little difficult than HTML4. But the Sololearn course makes it look easy. Go for it!

I like to write the examples and codes etc from the course because I can't remember a lot of things at once.

IMHO, HTML5 more simple than its predecessor (HTML 4.01, HTML 4.0, HTML 3.2 etc), HTML5 is have more capabilities, HTML5 is newest HTML version... so better you start learning with HTML5. cmiiw

You should learn HTML4 basics first, thenwhen you’re pretty good at that, you can start the HTML5 course.
