Apple, Microsoft, Google Back WebPlatform.org

WebPlatform.org, a source for accurate, up-to-date, comprehensive references and tutorials for web development and design, has been launched in alpha with support of major corporations.

The site will have in-depth indicators of browser support and interoperability with links to tests for specific features.

It will feature discussions and script libraries for cutting-edge features at various states of implementation or standardization, with the opportunity to give feedback into the process before the features are locked down. It will have features to let you experiment with and share code snippets, examples, and solutions. It will have an API to access the structured information for easy reuse. It will have resources for teachers to help them train their students with critical skills. It will have information you just can't get anywhere else, and it will have it all in one place.


The site has the backing of Adobe, Apple, Facebook, Google, HP, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia, and Opera.

These organizations are stewards for the project, enabling W3C to convene the community and grow the site. Beyond their strong organizational commitment, dedicated individuals from these organizations have invested time to make this happen. Moving forward, it will likewise be dedicated individuals –hopefully including you– who help keep the site up to date, make sure that the information is pragmatic and useful, that the features meet real-world needs, and that people find the help they are looking for.
