Agree. Highly recommended book for getting started in understanding HTML5. If you need in depth tutorials or demos, it's best to just browse the numerous resources online about HTML5, as they are constantly changing. Another interesting thing about HTML5, you can start using some of the syntax

Hi Jeff, it was excellent for those who are beginning to study HTML5. At this point the author was a perfect pass in the current moment of HTML5. Because everything is still somewhat cloudy in this field, I think he reached his goal. I certainly recommend. But one thing sure. He will not go dee

Hey Clare, I didn't like that every time I read a blog post or article by Jeffrey Zeldman that he had to put that book in their somewhere, whether it was related to the article or not. It just turned me off to the idea of buying it. That and it's only available through a book apart I think. Thank

Yeah I just wasn't sure what to expect. I had read it's a brief overview of the "best" parts of the language and sounds like from everyone here that is about right. I do like Jeremy Keith's writing so may pick it up, I figured it may be a good way to get started. Jeff On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 11:5

Jeff, depends on what you expect I suppose, I've read it - it's only small and light - but I like Jeremy's writing - very distinct and to the point which makes the book a great overview. Currently reading 'Introducing HTML5' by Bruce Lawson and Remy Sharp - which is brilliant :) Very friendly and

A good starting point is the spec itself I would say. You shouldn't be going far off with reading the spec or at least skimming through it. I think W3C now has the 'human optimised' version of the spec and not just the browser vendor 900+ page and growing version only. Cheers, Jason On Tue, Aug 17

It's still early for using HTML5 within serious sites and there's not much point. I have long ago given up on reading books about development, as by the time the book is delivered it's already out of date most of the time. By the time HTML5 is in full usable swing, there will be (I'm sure) a good e
