Creating our first application

Throughout this and the next couple of chapters, we will be building a tasklist application that uses HTML5 and CSS3. Before we get started we should spell out the specifications for our application so we know what we want to build.

• Our tasklist application should allow the user to quickly type in one or more task names and display them in a list.
• The user should be able to easily manipulate the tasks by editing them, deleting them, or moving them up or down in the order of the list.
• The application should remember the tasks that were entered, so when the user comes back to it they can continue where they left off.
• The UI should be reactive so that it can be used on a number of different devices with different screen sizes.
• We will start off simple and build upon what we've done as we go along. Throughout the process we will build some JavaScript libraries that can be used in subsequent projects, so we can hit the ground running.
