I’ve written a book about HTML5, I love the open web, I love good web standards . Luke Stevens is the author of The Truth About HTML5 (For Web Designers), a 'why (and why not) to' about HTML5.

I’ve written a book about HTML5, I love the open web, I love good web standards, and I love the fact that after working through a decade of stagnation, innovation in web technologies is now happening at an utterly blistering speed. Luke Stevens is the author of The Truth About HTML5 (For Web Designers), a 'why (and why not) to' about HTML5 that's been described as a 'must read' and a 'landmark publication'. This is the book that will show you what rocks in HTML5 today and what the future holds for interactivity and video now Flash is dying

The Truth about HTML5 by Luke Stevens is one of the most opinionated looks at HTML5 I’ve come across in. .Throughout this book, there’s one good point that Luke subtly reiterates; HTML5 wasn’t really written for designers, it was written for developers.

The Truth about HTML5 by Luke Stevens is one of the most opinionated looks at HTML5 I’ve come across in the last year, and for good reason. What we (web designers & developers) think we know about HTML5 is convoluted by misinterpretation and industry buzz words to make the next iteration of HTML much more than what it actually is. That’s not to say that HTML5 doesn’t have it’s good points, and that’s what Luke Stevens aims to point out in this book. And from a development perspective, HTML5 has a lot of potential.

This is the book for web designers, web developers, and front-end coders who want to get up to speed with HTML5 in 2012. This is the book that isn’t afraid to point out what everyone gets wrong about HTML5’s new markup, so you don’t make the same mistakes. This is the book that will show you what rocks in HTML5 today and what the future holds for interactivity and video now Flash is dying. This is the book that doesn’t think marking up a basic web page should be a quasi-religious exercise where the high priests of HTML5 must be consulted for their interpretation of the holy texts (the HTML5 spec). This is the book that doesn’t pull its punches. This is the book for web professionals who think for themselves. This is the book that tells the truth about HTML5. === 5 Reasons You Should Read The Truth About HTML5 1. Learn HTML5 markup the right way After spending an insane number of hours researching HTML5’s new markup I discovered one disturbing fact: everyone gets it wrong. Really. Don’t waste hours trawling through confusing, poorly researched, and often flat-out wrong blog posts (or books). Get the truth on HTML5’s markup in chapter three and chapter four. 2. Learn about the future of semantics Did you know Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft teamed up in 2011 to launch a new, potentially groundbreaking semantics initiative using HTML5’s new microdata standard? They did, and the new semantics are being used by major sites like eBay and IMDB right now. In chapter seven you’ll be brought up to speed on one of the biggest changes to semantics to ever hit the web. 3. Learn what HTML5 features you can implement today HTML5 isn’t one big blob of technology that will be "finished" at some point in the future. It’s a grab bag of cool stuff, much of which has been around for years. Learn what’s well supported and ready to go today in 2012, including new forms features in chapter eight, and the new audio and video possibilities in chapter ten. 4. Learn what happens when Flash dies The writing is on the wall for Flash. Apple never supported it on mobile; Adobe (Adobe!) have given up on the plug-in for Android; and Microsoft won’t support it in IE10 in the default desktop experience of Windows 8. (Let that sink in for a moment.) Clients will demand HTML5 equivalents of what was done with Flash so we’ll look at what HTML’s Canvas can do in chapter nine and what HTML5 video can (and can’t) do in chapter ten. 5. HTML5 for CMSs, and beyond HTML5 Finally in chapter twelve we’ll look at some of the web app oriented features of HTML5, one of which (the History API) changes something as fundamental as a page refresh. We’ll also touch on features that we should be demanding asking politely to be included in our CMSs, and we’ll look briefly at some post-HTML5 web standards development for mobile that’s becoming a reality right now.

When any new technology arrives, IT folks get feature creep and start looking for ways to implement it. Even more so with HTML5 since we've been waiting since 1998 for some new HTML tools to add to our toolbox. But, before you drink the "Kool-Aid" that the Internet is serving up about how you can and should start using HTML5 today, read this book, which can be done in a single sitting.

As a professional web developer and IT trainer for 20 years, I must admit that I never gave much thought to document outlines, but after only 50 pages of this book, it became so clear to me why I should care and why (at least right now - 2014), it makes no sense to use HTML 5's new structural sectioning elements and in fact, how using these elements will most likely break your document outline, make your page inaccessible to AT users and provide no benefit to SEO.

This book will provide you with rock solid evidence for the claims that it makes (in many cases using Ian Hickson's own public comments on HTML5 to back up these claims) and open your eyes to the dangers of using various aspects of HTML5 right now and potentially for the foreseeable future.

Be warned: this book is a lone dissenting voice in the wilderness, but it's extremely hard to read it and not come away with a different point of view than that of the masses proclaiming that we should all jump on the HTML5 bandwagon immediately.

On the novice-beginner-intermediate-advanced-pro scale of web development, I consider myself as just having entered intermediate.

This book is formatted well on Kindle III. However, to make full use of it, I think it's best on a web-enabled device due to the numerous active links in the electronic version. For this reason, I recommend the electronic version, at least if you can't afford or don't want to buy both. All links are labelled as their http strings in the text so print users can still visit them.

This book is not a programming how-to book, but it should go well with one of the many HTML5 programming books. And I think the content, though frequently advanced, is suitable for serious novices and beginners as well as pro.

The writing style is casual versus pedagogical, like serious, well written blog articles. It's concise and provides a lot of information. The author does express his opinions but does so efficiently without distraction.

The book has two primary offerings. First, the entire text is a thorough discussion of HTML5's history, what its features are and their pros and cons, recommendations and opinions on why we should or shouldn't use given features, current support of the features in desktop and mobile arenas, and the potential and future of HTML5. Secondly, there are many links throughout each chapter. They range from pairs of pro-con discussions of features to sites demonstrating the possibilities of advanced HTML5 implementations. Every main item in each topic - and more - has links. A great reference resource.

I've read it cover to cover, and I think it provides a very good conceptual overview of how to approach using HTML5 whether developing from scratch or gradually integrating it into an existing system.

This book is one of the best tech books I have read. There are tons of "how-to" books, but this book is different. It is not for beginners. It discusses what works, what doesn't and what you should know about how HTML5 was created. The book goes over all the features in the specification and talks about each one. Some features are great, but some don't do much of anything, and some are actually bad.

HTML5 didn't just arrive out of thin air. There is a fascinating history of how it came to be and this book tells that story. The author discusses how the spec was written. Some features were added for reasons that don't really make sense and some are personal preferences of the spec writers. There is also great information about browser support, including the various incarnations of IE. The author also talks about the direction some of the browser vendors are going and how mobile is affecting HTML5 and web design.

HTML5 is a great design tool. It is an improvement over the previous standards and the book discusses this. The Canvas API and the Audio and Video features have great promise. But not all features need to be embraced. There were features that I used but didn't see any usefulness in them. After reading this book, I understand that I can continue to use DIV's instead of the new tags such as ARTICLE and SECTION. And there are obscure features that I don't have to learn in depth because they will likely disappear from use (but probably not the spec). He also talks about the comeback of SVG, which I was happy to learn.

Anyone who is working with HTML5 needs to read this book.

Nice summation of how we got here in terms of the open web, browser support, and features of what is known as HTML5 - helps form a solid foundation for site designers and web developers to build on

Reading this book was a lot of "uh-huh" moments for me, it helped me to understand the good and the bad parts of HTML5. Describes the current state of technologies we were so hyped about. This is really the truth about HTML5, and some parts of it will shock you...

After being confused about HTML5 for some time now, I finally have my questions cleared up. I emailed the author and thanked him for helping me. I have been a web designer since 1996 and this is one of the best books I have read on web design.
