The book is MUCH shorter than the spec. The author has a clear writing voice, and explains things well. Unfortunately, I'm a geek and was involved in the HTML5 Working Group for a little while, so I already knew most of what the author was talking about. On the up-shot, I was able to read this on a single flight from Omaha, NE to San Jose, CA.

A good overview of what HTML 5 is all about. What it can do and more importantly what you can actually safely do with it now. Not a thrilling read but informative in how it places HTML5 in context with the history of HTML and the overall move to create a more semantic web. And it's a good reference for dipping your toes into adapting your code for the future.

Simple y no sin necesidad de una revisión. Es asombroso lo rápido que pueden convertirse en piezas obsoletas este tipo de publicaciones.

Great overview of what to expect with html 5 and how you can start using it today without breaking client sites.

First of all, this book is beautifully designed.
But more importantly (or is it...), it was an incredibly helpful read on how to start using HTML5. I really enjoyed the chapter on Semantics (Chapter 5), where Jeremy Keith talks about the nitty gritty details about what the difference between an article and a section is, and other pressing issues I know everyone else has been worrying about too.
I have a feeling this is going to be a useful reference book for years to come.

There are more exhaustive books on there on what is coming in web programming, the next generation standards and all that jazz. There will be few that are enjoyable to read.
This books fills those needs - it is a conversational introduction. Just enough to get me excited about coding again.

Overall a nice introduction to HTML5. Problem with a book on recent and developing technologies is that they need to be updated very fast. Just about 2 years old since publication certain things sounded too old while reading.
