What is HTML 5?

Matt Maldre

Free kindle ebook, so it's already a good deal. I give it three stars because the book is average. Not bad. Not great. If you want to learn the concepts behind HTML 5, this is a good book to read. It's short. To the point. I want to give it 4 stars, but that's a bit high. 3.5 would be more accurate. 

This book doesn't get into the nitty gritty coding and programming, but you do need to have a knowledge of coding to understand the book. 

A handful of good quotes from the book: 
-------------
The winners in an HTML5 world are those who stop fearing being stolen from, and actually start handing out their candy to every kid on the block.

HTML has always been about interconnection.

Slap a Creative Commons license not just on your video, or your images, but on your HTML, and then build interesting components and assume they’ll be sucked into other things and used in ways you’d never considered. It is called the Internet, remember?

important is not that HTML5 works on phones. What’s important is that HTML5 “just works.”

HTML5 really removes the need to think about mobile devices separately from other devices
