2Also, Will HTML5 loose syntax take us back to horrible coding practices?
Regardless of the fact that HTML5 coded in "loose" format will be accepted by the browser - there is no reason why you shouldn't aim for and produce valid well-formed markup.
Similar to XHTML, I would recommend that you always format your code cleanly for ANY web development whether HTML, HTML5, or XHTML.
In short, I recommend you do the following:
- all tags in lower case (no exceptions)
- all attribute names in lower case (exceptions allowed to make IE work where necs.)
- all tags closed (either self-closed or with a closing tag) e.g. <br/>, <hr/>, <img/>, <li>...</li>, <option></option>, etc.

First a designer is the one who make designs coming from his own ideas and concepts, while a developer is the one who develops a prepared idea..Got the point? So for me as a designer it is an advantage to apply my own ideas than to develop other's ideas. Got the word "ORIGINAL". And just follow your heart what you really want to do. Be passionate enough and everything you want to accomplish and it will satisfy you..

Will Touchscreen devices make hover states a thing of the past?
Although there are not hover states yet, you can check what 37signals made for their iPad Basecamp app

I think the "hover states" won't disappear as I don't think all devices will have “touchscreen and touchscreen-only” input methods. -
5What resolution do you recommend for an image on the web?
Defining images with resolutions or DPI is only useful, when you combine the DPI with a dimension ie width by height at (x) dpi) . A single pixel can be defined as 300 dpi or 72 dpi, it will still remain only one pixel.
Defining an RGB file is a 32 bit file is also problematic as a photographer would consider this to be a High Dynamic Range HDR image and 3D animator might consider it a 8 bits per channel RGB with an Alpha Channel or transparency mask and a print designer might consider the file a 8 bits per channel CMYK file. -
How I can write an ExpressionEngine plugin with CodeIgniter?
There are several ways to do this, however, I would start with something as simple as the basics of using Codeignitor to develop a wide range of plugins with a variety of functionalities. Take a look at these tutorials on using Codeignitor from scratch. -
Is it good to use Passenger in Rails development environments?
Passenger really is the most efficient for local development (though I've never tried to get it running on windows). Also Passenger should start Rails automatically on first request. -
Is Rails more supported on hosting platforms today?
I beleive with the ever-expanding knowledge of Ruby on Rails and the ample amount of power it brings to the "table", we're beginning to see an increase in usage and avid awareness of RoR. This pretty much leads a much wider acceptance rate, and more of an openness to it. So yes, I believe it is being supported on a wide-scale more and more each day.
