HTML5 and New Tags

Last year, I was fortunate enough to attend the Web Directions USA conference in Atlanta, GA. I had the pleasure to meet leaders in web development and technology. I also learned about the implementation of HTML5. At the end of the day I was familiar with most of its new tags and had a better understanding of its semantic purpose.  Basically the idea is to replace the generic div tags with more meaningful or descriptive mark up, if you will; as a result, now we have header, nav, section, article, aside and some more.
