This is not the first book I read about HTML5, but it's the one I liked most. One of HTML5 new things is the new semantic elements, however in other books I had a hard time understanding which I should use where and that exactly is their semantic meaning. In this book you get a clear understanding which element is best used where, where it shouldn't be used and other information. The book also provides a lot of useful recipes for easily getting knowledge about new HTML5 features like geolocation, audio, video, canvas and other features. The recipes also help the cogs in your head spinning to think of the ways how you could use these features in your own real life projects. This is the great book if you want to learn HTML5 or just want to get rid of few dust bunnies on your HTML5 knowledge.<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/490718531">more...</a>
