HTML5 Software

If you are doing database, PHP, ASP.NET, Perl (for some reason), then you need a local server. XAMPP is one of them. But I prefer WebMatrix built-in one, as it start instantly and doesn't slow down your system startup (unless they recently changed).

XAMPP and practically every other web development stack, has NEVER slowed down system startup.

For HTML, yeah. For php (if desired), it works. There are better options, but the differences are more subtle for the average user.

right. and if he wants to go to the moon, he will need a space shuttle

but he asked for html, so he won't need xampp, webmatrix and the space shuttle i guess

I do recommend Sublime Text, it has so many features like adding themes, plugins and colour schemes!
