Useful HTML5 resources
With the growing interest in HTML5, I thought I’d share with you some of the links I’ve had the most use for when developing a HTML5 site, and some recent news in the topic.
The Specification
First,
The WHATWG Blog
With writers like Mark Pilgrim and Ian Hickson, the WHATWG blog is useful not only to keep up with the developing specs, but also explaining important concepts such as link relations, a topicality with all the discussions about rev=canonical recently. Visit
html5 Gallery
There are thousands of CSS showcases, but this one has it’s focus on sites coded with HTML5 markup. A great way to keep up with developers experimenting with new technologies. Visit
When can I use…
Alexis Deveria has compiled a customizable table of which features in HTML5, CSS3, SVG are compatible with which browsers. Quite useful when you learn about something new and cool to see if it will work for at least some of your visitors! Visit
Bruce Lawson
Web Standards Project member and Opera employee Bruce Lawson was one of the first major blogs to not only write about, but also redesign his site with HTML5. Visit
Dave Shea
Dave Shea, the author of the popular mezzoblue weblog, recently decided to switch from XHTML to HTML4. He did this because he believes HTML5 and not XHTML2 is the future. The ensuing discussion in the comments at his blog is well worth a read. Visit
That’s all for now, but please chip in if you have any other resources that might be useful!
