Dive Into HTML5 ↦
If you are a web developer, you should be reading Mark Pilgram’s excellent Dive into HTML5 website, for the following reasons:
-
It is an extensive and insightful exploration of the still-evolving HTML5 standard, including its history and the history of HTML in general.
-
It includes invaluable information about which HTML5 features have been implemented by which browsers so far.
-
It is a fascinating experiment in publishing a book not just online (as so many others have done by providing downloadable PDFs) but in publishing a book online in web format (i.e. using only HTML, CSS and/or JavaScript). The site includes public domain illustrations and embedded open source fonts for a playfully old-fashioned look.
