Suddenly, everyone’s talking about HTML5, and ready or not, you need to get acquainted with this powerful new development in web and application design. Some of its new features are already being implemented by existing browsers, and much more is around the corner.
Written by developers who have been using the new language for the past year in their work, this book shows you how to start adapting the language now to realize its benefits on today’s browsers. Rather than being just an academic investigation, it concentrates on the practical—the problems HTML5 can solve for you right away. By following the book’s hands-on HTML5 code examples you’ll learn:

And, knowing the basics of CSS is an essential ingredient for success.

Discover how to build web sites, prototypes, and more in this course on Adobe Dreamweaver CS6. Author James Williamson shows designers how to take control of their site by properly naming and structuring files and folders; how to create new documents and web pages from scratch or with starter pages; and how to add content such as text, images, tables, and links. James also provides a background on the languages that power projects built in Dreamweaver—HTML and CSS—and introduces the programming features in the application, for developers who want to dig right into the code. The last chapter shows how to finesse your project with interactive content such as CSS3 transitions and Spry widgets.

Is HTML5 ready for production? How will it affect mobile development? OSCON 2011 took a long and lively look at HTML5, and with this video compilation, you’ll benefit from several OS professionals who have put HTML5 to the test. Watch luminaries such as Stoyan Stefanov (Facebook), Estelle Weyl (Standardista.com), and Scott Davis (ThirstyHead.com) as they examine various aspects of HTML5 and related technologies including javascript and CSS3.

Admit it: you say that you test your JavaScript, but, in reality, you…don’t. That’s okay; the idea of testing JavaScript is a relatively new thing. And unfortunately, there aren’t too many “hold your hand” resources for getting up and running. Well, that all changes with this course. We start from scratch, and slowly work our way up the testing chain. Along the way, we’ll take advantage of the fantastic Jasmine BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) framework to make our tests as readable as possible. Upon completion of the course, you’ll not only have a robust test suite at your fingertips, but your tests will also make for fantastic documentation!
