Recommended: “Introducing HTML5”

If you’re looking for a nice, readable, non-stuffy, example-rich book to help you get started with HTML 5, I suggest checking out Bruce Lawton’s and Remy Sharp’s Introducing HTML 5. Covered in its chapters are:

• Page structure
• Text and structuring main content areas
• Forms
• Video and audio
• Canvas
• Data storage
• Running while offline
• Drag and drop
• Geolocation
• Messages, workers and sockets

I picked up the book this past weekend and have been enjoying it, as have the reviewers on Amazon, who’ve given it an average rating of four and a half stars.
