I’ve been thinking for a while about designing some civil engineering apps related to pipe flow. The idea is to have animation showing flow that changes as the user either grips the pipe changing the invert or changes the values, such as flow, pipe material, diameter, headwater elevation, etc.
The last time I did any webdesign was probably 7 or 8 years ago, using only html. I understand now that current design uses html5, but what about the graphics? Would it be beneficial to learn a graphics language in addition to html5, or can it all be done in html easier?
